Daring Time

You granted me childhood
Allowed me to err
You showed me life
Revealing the secrets
You read my soul
Unwarranted love
*******
You took a path
I could not follow
A right reclaimed
and granted
a thousandfold
*******
Time, re-created,
Is now a gate onto the future
And beyond that gate
Your future has now begun

Ama Dablam – Mother’s Necklace

Mother’s necklace
Evening star
On canyon rim
Orion’s image
In Nepal land
A mountain’s love
Were you, my child
Motionless trees
Stood the sky
On moonlit nights
For you, my child
Horizon your prayer
Waterfall your music
The splendor cathedral
Your life, my child
Ama Dablam, a necklace offered
To me, your flesh and blood
When you said, a day resplendent
Fatality broke your song
