An abhanga

It would seem I have found

'tween prayer and verse.

Poetry comes from the Soul which knows the hidden prayers of the heart.

i,i,i* found and lost –
simmetri or anchor
in listening**

* following loosely the Yiddish Klage ei-wei
**g-o-d’s first language is – silence; the rest is faulty translations (source unknown; quoted from memory)

David, thanks for the ‘prayer/verse’ intro to Abhanga; inspiring. C.

Chanting in Abhanga
Lakshmi and goddesses
Spirits in bodices
