Anew

Take this sadness
this self-pity
turn it to fire
burning all
that must perish.

Turn each tear
into stone
with which to build
a foundation
of Nothingness

Take this pain
turn this churning
into longing
for Devi and
She alone

That I might
be born anew
washed clean of
all that binds
by the fierce river
of Your Love.
