These Belong to You
 
Kali, I write these songs,
But they belong to You
To do with as You please.
I am like the bead a cord
Passes through, a field
The wind blows over,
The banks of a stream.
 
As long as cord and wind
And water pass through me,
That’s enough. Let my words
Fall deeper each day
Into the bottomless black
Well of Mother Kali’s ear.
