O Kali of Mystery !

I yearn to hold your luminous power

In the subtle nerve channels near the spine

Long enough to know you more intensely

Yet your brilliant Goddess energy

Dances with freedom and wild abandon

How can I possible contain you, even for an instant?

May you come to rest gently

Upon the spacious lotus of my heart,

Playing with pure awareness

The many-stringed instrument of my mind

 

O longing soul

This poet will tell you

How to embrace Mother's feet of bliss

Cut through veils of greed, anger, pride and jealousy

With her swords of nonduality

Dedicated your life to her indivisible presence.

By singing her name with passion,

Transform your being into a full expression of her being

This will utterly ruin Death's reputation

 

The Singer of this song complains :

"Mother ! Mother ! Mother !

Why do you continue to test my soul

With the suffering of this provisional world?

What more can dedicate, sacrifice, release?

But do whatever you will with me,

I will continue to accept the play of daily life

As your most precious teaching,

Never ceasing to sing

Kali, Kali, Kali
