Ancient guardians of sacred space rise on the horizon
the echoes of prayers ricochete
through time the tiger skin the bearded elders lie upon
on the zephyr a vibration of the holy is carried on
frankincence and myrrh
and sandalwood burn..
the sacred numbers recur
The wildflower covering mountains in spring
ecstatic sacrality
...birds of prey flock to soar the heights
Scavengers to whom the dead are offered
Nothing wasted
Tibet frozen in time in the skies
Everest scaled for the sake of conquer
..and once in awhile
swallowa men alive
Rivers flowing over rocks in between lush green
rising up over me clouds settled in between
heaven and earth meet and the sages wander there
and in my quietude... my solitude
I found my sou
in between the clouds and the wildflowers in brilliant hues
the caves and the wandering sadus
For it is the mountains that guarded it
healed it...
and I soared with eagle
son rocky mountain trails
...One day to return
for the guardians await me there
