Juxtaposed...For Pi

Inside us all is a tiger

tough

strong, territorial

soulful and majestic

Stranded in a lifeboat

on a silent sea; or a raging, wicked one

juxtaposed, yet still the same sea

We are silent and raging

My sea is strewn with stars

Inside us all is suffering

hard like stone

Ripping at the very core of us

until we are emaciated and weak

to the point of almost dying

Yet, we survive

Krishna carries the Universe

inside him

his mouth agape to offer

us all agape......

The true selfless love we must 

know for ourselves through ourselves

before we know it else where

My universe is inside me as well

My tiger; my power, my prowess, my goddess

Saved through suffering or saved through magic

Saved through a life peaceful or a life tragic

It matters not, if we see and know that being saved

Comes from owning OUR truth 

and banishing that to which we have been enslaved

Inside us we carry ourselves
When out at sea alone....your truth shines and is reflected around you perfectly

Open your mouth, share your story,  sing your truth
