An Ode to Spiritual love…
Lost in the Sierra...
By Rohini Chandra
Took out my Harley
To get lost in the desert.
With no map, no compass.
Just hear the wind’s whisper.
Losing myself through
snaky valleys between
mammoth shadows hulking
around in sierra glory.
Crackles of sunburst jolt
Through hovering cotton balls
Of Whipped cream in the sky
Over rolls of unfolding hills.
How can I lose myself
Through this vast stillness?
Uncertainty is my shelter
Follow crevices, be aimless.
So I took a turn on a dime.
Missed my rich-fast chance
Plans didn’t go as planned
But I let the pangs dance.
Fire in my stomach,
But the fall breeze
Cooled my head, and
caressed my heart gently .
I let go, first, threw
My watch, crushed time.
Dating myself in the Sierra
Trespassing deadlines.
I crossed into barbed soul.
Found love buried in truth,
I dug to bare it more.
That’s when I found you.
Love has no clock
It has no clear direction
It’s a beautiful surprise
Without expectation.
Tears of long patience
Put me on my knees.
The more I dug myself,
More of you revealed me.
Your reflection shattered
my veneer, my shame
Lay light on my values
Your Strength quenched my pain.
I’m living in this moment
Letting my search cease,
For finding love is drinking
Sierra’s reward in peace.
