A kind of surprise on the face
The bottomless reality is exposed
Only loneliness amidst nothingness
Who reigns that reflectionless space?
Darkness is also consumed there
Faint outlines are visible to mortals
Feels like an insidious reality unfolding
The entangled spine holds a secret
Lone souls have been trapped here
Can they be awakened by a mantra?
Slow murmurs reflect astral voices
One who dwells between illusions
Can they choose to seek that freedom
Of meeting that astral body somewhere
