(one) TRANSLATION FOR THE GAYATRI MANTRA:

We put our focus on
our self effulgent light: earth air and beyond
which illuminates our subtle intellect
for the healing benefit of all beings.

…

Harvest time has passed
the season exhales…
tonight seems longer still.

…

The air turns cold –
touching his skin
restless by moonlight

…

A silent wind stirs the leaves
whispers of sun
call him home…

…

Lay down all burdens –
your self, the fallow sound
a garden gate closing…

…

What is this?
Freedom to move!
Limbs like spring currents

…

O, that light is so vital
shimmering on the water –
inhale deeply and dive underneath.

…

The surface is broken
only ripples remain
of a man crossing the river

…

His family and friends cheer
voices lifting the fall chill
distant bells sounding VICTORY.

and pass again,
a deep sea pearl ripens.
