DEVI, DEVI

Saw you coming down

With your dark and gold dress

A twirling Indian goddess

Then you disappeared inside of me

Who are you?

Which part of me are you the mystery?

My mind wants to see you, to hear you

I plead and pray and ask to no avail

My guru says “Do what she asks”

But I don’t perceive her voice, her grace

Her guidance

Slowly my lips and my mind start smiling

Could it be that easy?

Erase the worries, the “I have to do”

Enjoy the presence of the living smile

In the muscles of your mouth

And the corners of your eye

In the air that comes through your nostrils.

Oh great Spirit

Earth, Sun, Sky and Sea

You’re inside and all around me, she sings

Am reminded of happiness

A cloud just moved to allow more sun in the house
