Mountain of a Man
Burning for many a millennia
Destructive for the ignorant
Enlightening for the seeking
Brutal to the stubborn
Tender to the willing.
– Sadhguru
How is it that
A man can have the presence of a mountain?
A mountain like the grandeur of the Great Himalayas.
How is it that
A fragile human body can hold
such a blast of a presence
Fierce wild animals come nowhere near
The fierceness of my master
Blossoming flowers come nowhere near
The tenderness of my master
The fiery sun comes nowhere near
The fiery heart of my master
The Himalayas come nowhere near
The presence of my master
Not just poetry,
This is prose.
How can a man have the presence of a mountain?
A man is so small, a mountain impossibly huge.
How is this phenomenon possible?
