ever tell you what you fear
never what you want to hear
you disdained me this choice
giving light to shadow’s voice
hate me for shadow voice
saying things you’d have unsaid
as if they do not curl and hiss
silently within your head
no doomsaying do i undertake
or ill end would i cast
only set light to your shadow
that it might safely pass
moments bloom and fade
lessons brought and passed
in the quiet kharma glade
all actions reactions cast
om mani padme hum
dralas on the wind
spin sweet dharmachakra
bring all to fruitful end
