DRAGON RIDE

Sword of power,
connecting the Earth and Sky,

my own might
pouring from above
and down into the ground.

Filling up the body and soil,
feeding the cells and roots...

Holy weapon of Will
commanding the powers
that are in command...

Standing inside the sanctuary
of intentional self sacrifice,

encircled with candle flames,
guarded by nothing
but potency of the Self.

Willful descent into
the Netherworld...

Disappearance with
mantra on the lips,
voluntary death by chant.

Culmination of the ceremony
and then serenity...
pure force embodied.
