mount tops

many a mount tops i like to climb

to meet with Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad

also their kind, to stay there and forget

the varied valley i desire much

many a mount tops i like to climb

to float in air or to be transfigured

and erase the old wounds and memory

in mind and soul i had desired much

many a mount tops i like to climb

to ease my burden and drop aged

and excess baggage, to be envisioned

with a greater cause i desire much

tomb to kill

dissimilar views he doesn’t handle well

clashing openly like dogs of two kinds
with any who do not hold his outlook
ending in two camps that never assemble

similar visions also don’t go too well

for the like poles oppose one another
as women cutting throat of each other
never leaving space for an additional

single self, survives not on surface

drowning in water too deep
and in no account shows its face
making the very self a tomb to kill

oneness

God be in my head

be in my heart
be in my soul
be in my mind

God become my hand

become my feet
become my belly
become my lungs

God be my thought

be my lips
be my tongue
be my nerves

God become my taste

become my eating
become my drinking
become my breathing

God be my present

be my past
be my future
be my eternity

God become my being

become my fleeing
become my first
become my last
