Threefold World
great lord of the threefold world
gather your sweeping hair
and tell us of mount Kailash
mountain abode where you balance
eternal om on the navel of the universe
wrung from the churning sea
not all temples are built by kings
royal citadels to honor gods
under the guise of heaven on earth
not all choices are based on worth
emotions pitted against thought
vying for balance within mind
and the enceinte of humankind
amid Shiva simulacrum
carved in delicate rouge sandstone
ganas guarding sanctuary
—lion, Garuda, monkey, Yaksha—
occupying liminal thresholds
where higher forms of consciousness
emanate from smokey shrines
and the burrowing realms of
desire, form, and formlessness
gather your sweeping hair
and tell us of mount Kailash
mountain abode where you balance
eternal om on the navel of the universe
wrung from the churning sea
not all temples are built by kings
royal citadels to honor gods
under the guise of heaven on earth
not all choices are based on worth
emotions pitted against thought
vying for balance within mind
and the enceinte of humankind
amid Shiva simulacrum
carved in delicate rouge sandstone
ganas guarding sanctuary
—lion, Garuda, monkey, Yaksha—
occupying liminal thresholds
where higher forms of consciousness
emanate from smokey shrines
and the burrowing realms of
desire, form, and formlessness
