I
There is a place
a high sacred place
existing somewhere
before our fondest memories
and after our most cherished hopes
A place where the sun
comforts the moon
and the moon empowers the sun
a place where earth mother
embraces sky father
A place bringing forth loving seed power
breeding ancient and resplendent earth temples
a place where all that worship light and life
are forever nourished
A place where great dharmas
are born crucified and resurrected
II
There is a place
a high sacred place
of eternal grace and devotion
of timeless shimmering promontories
A place where pulsing stars
gaze upon silvery moonlit snow dunes
all enshrined within an infinity of violet hues
A place where the creator’s rainbow breath
fiercely caresses dancing prayer feather leaves
suspended on swaying kachina branches
that writhe in unforgotten ecstasy
A place of shattering crystalline water
cascading into rivers of radiantly flowering
grassland tapestry
a place fertile with the elusive nectar
that nourishes and empowers anguished souls
A place where throbbing granite waterfalls
enrapture weary and disenchanted pilgrims
a place where the three doors open wide
in great harmonic unison
to reveal to comfort and to heal
A place where spirit breath bites into the earth
and showers forth with 38 clans of human beingness
III
There is a place
a high sacred place
where the dream weaver’s vision remains alive
speaking listening merging
rejoicing with earthbeing questing
Where the hopelessly pure heart
can remember the grandeur
of what it has been
and the triumph
of what it shall have already become
There is a place
a high sacred place
sustained by the tears of the faithfully devoted
where priest clan seed is eternally reborn
Where the spirit
of gods of angels
of holy men and sacred women
once again whisper the sanctified teachings
into the withered hungry eye
of repentant truth seekers
There is a place
a high sacred place
of ancient hawk and jaguar kivas
where changing drums
dance on eagle feathered spirals
eternally pleading the prayers of the nations
Where medicine power unfolds tirelessly
in lotus petaled ripples
unleashed through the resurrected heart
of the cherished prabhushri adnam
IV
There is a place
which is the beginning
and the ending
of all the great pilgrimages
A place forever empowering
magnificent hosts of angelic spirit beings
constantly regenerating within the imploded rapture
of life rediscovering itself
This is the place of the caring
this is the place of the sharing
this is the place of the seeking
this is the place of the finding
this is the place of the knowing
this is the place of the glowing
There lives a high sacred place
a place of timeless majestic mountain
a place of shimmering radiant forest
a place of perfect flowering meadow
a place of gurgling bouncing river
A being place
a breathing place
a seeing place
a touching place
a real place
that lives within the heart
of these shining mountains
Within this high sacred place
there has begun an awakening
shattering briefly
and transmuting forever
the deceptive dragon beast
clutching desperately at the melting walls
of its prison of unconsciousness
I have reached into the great temple of light
thus bringing boundless delight
to this weary but awakening soul
Be steadfast
be patient
be content
for the great days are upon us
the ancient prophecies are true
god is not mocked
the promises are not forgotten
