Holy Mountain
Khmer pyramid, Mount Meru
—Vishnu calling—
golden lotus gleaming skyward
i climb towards heaven
photosynthesis green jungle creeps
in every direction
monks clear dusty ways
under Cambodian heat
and mark this place
holy holy holy
holy holy holy
holy holy holy
to the people of Cambodia
this place holds stories
tales of histories and myths
of devas and asuras
—Mahabharata—Ramayana—
the god king and apsaras
shadows fall upon faces
in quiet beams—traces—of morning light
as solemn sound rises
and sights of celestial love
impart spiritual visions
universal everything oneness
all is sacred; all is art
all is holy; all is part
of everything else
i feel the tender weight of sun
resting on my face
gentle hand of Buddha
hidden among these towers
where lotus petals clasp my wrist
as i chant prayers to—this—
holy mountain
—Vishnu calling—
golden lotus gleaming skyward
i climb towards heaven
photosynthesis green jungle creeps
in every direction
monks clear dusty ways
under Cambodian heat
and mark this place
holy holy holy
holy holy holy
holy holy holy
to the people of Cambodia
this place holds stories
tales of histories and myths
of devas and asuras
—Mahabharata—Ramayana—
the god king and apsaras
shadows fall upon faces
in quiet beams—traces—of morning light
as solemn sound rises
and sights of celestial love
impart spiritual visions
universal everything oneness
all is sacred; all is art
all is holy; all is part
of everything else
i feel the tender weight of sun
resting on my face
gentle hand of Buddha
hidden among these towers
where lotus petals clasp my wrist
as i chant prayers to—this—
holy mountain
