everything that has a shape
will crumble away
alone in this world
with nowhere to rest
delusions are as various as
the moon on a rippling sea
beings so easily caught
in a net of confusing pain
may death guide us
to the path of awakening
may we rest easy
commence in the ritual of death

don't be afraid
rest in this
the vast luminosity of the mind itself
clear radiance of one's own nature
free from the shadows of birth and death
space has dissolved into pure light
the body and consciousness have separated
you are not alone in leaving this world
don't cling to the past
go forward

Destined for the Dirt

now, awaiting your mind
the vivid form of your own awareness
lost and wandering this earth
endless unrest cursed by birth
pass through mountains
circle the universe
infinite limits to which I have gone
unknown to the eye
forgotten, passed by in time
let your grasping mind dissolve
search for liberation
you will again suffer the torments of living and dying
to lose all is too realize absolution
to gain everything is to forget the answers
breath of the wind
shuttering in the cold
the sense of dismay
blankets a desolate soul
promised nothing but the grave
no future foretold
into a cold abyss
this body was meant to decay
the soul has flown away.
this body was not meant to remain.
the still of the earth is a reminder
I am destined for the dirt

Palms of the Earth

so blissful
filled with scorn
the doorway, only way out
so vast and temperamental
moving into the greatest silence
the continuous cycle
knows no end
to stare into the void
is to stare into the soul
life is fleeting
forget all you know
dimming the light
death whispers its final good night
unwinding the coils
digested by time itself
sweet release of death
revealing inner truth
be opened, the mouth of mystery
be called, wings of the wind
to stare into the void
is to stare into the soul
life is fleeting
forget all you know
dimming the light
death whispers its final good night
placed in the palms of the earth
to which I return

Offered up to the Sky

Carried up the foggy mountain
To funeral grounds (where trees don’t grow)
Nourishing the earth
Body laid down
Eternally resting
Once again enter the human realm
Secrets of the soul
No holding on, let go
Beyond the body
Beyond the mind
Leave all you know behind
Floating free
Invoking wisdom of the ancients
This great blazing light
Is enlightenment itself
Recognize the luminosity
Which dawns before you
The sacred act
An offering to the sky
Sustaining life of another being
This great blazing light
Is enlightenment itself
Recognize the luminosity
Which dawns before you
Vultures feast
Sustaining life
Offered up to the sky.
Swiftly consuming
Mortal coils untied
The soul has migrated to another realm
