Pilgrimage

 

Why travel to Mecca, Benares,

Jerusalem or Rome?
Just make the haj

to your own heart.

Follow the still motion
of blossoming,

the golden swirl

of Allah's most intimate gaze,

Christ's healing gesture,

Shyama’s dance of inebriation.

One spiral of amazement pierces 

the proton,  Laniakea’s 

superclustered spine,

a frond of lavender, this miracle 

of breathing inward, outward.

Is there a solitary 

infinitesimal dot

in all of space and time

that does not overflow

with the nectar

you thirst for?
