I AM A MANDALA

I am a mandala, a Kalachakra, a cosmogram
An esoteric resonance of the micro and macro
A meditative connection of the skin and the subtle
The Mooladhara and the Ajna
The tantric framework of the pranic body
Built with layers of intricate repetitive designs
Of karma and moksha, creation and destruction
The realms of wisdom building at every layer
Choosing to fill the spaces
With the jarring patterns of angst and agony
The mandala to waste away, putrefied and cancerous
Or with the ethereal flow of peace and love
And as the dimensions extend outward
To cause a harmonious balance with the Universe

I am a mandala, a Kalachakra, a cosmogram
Radiating as a mantra my glowing form.
