Swami's Secret by Joe Khan"all of Us!"
the words awoke when he laid down his mind
and one deep breath emptied his existence-
revealing the nakedness of our souls
once covered by the snail's pursuit.
bedridden yet vital, awaiting the arrival
of the black loss not felt,
but given. 06/20/2010 Posted on 06/21/2010 Copyright © 2025 Joe Khan
