Maha Devi

O great Goddess,
With one hand you bind me to the world.
With one piercing look
You burn away all desire.



I long to hide from this relentless tension
In some polar extreme
Or some holy ground
beyond contradiction.



Teach me to love the demons
And their karma,
To see in their fury
Your gentle hands,
compassionate dharma.
