Greetings from the Land of Enchantment

tattvas--a poem

Tattvas

I am earth
You are water

I am fire
You are air

We dwell in ether
spirits
across space and time

Polarity's perfect play:

Krishna dancing
with his flute

Ganesha riding
upon the rat

Lila turning
and turning
and turning

Laughter spills
from our cup of sorrows

Joy arises from ashes
blood turns to milk
gold from the philosopher's stone

these lowly forms
transmuting
elements co-mingling
becoming

a quixotic elixir
drink from this cup
and never be thirsty again . . .
