Bare

some can run bare
as bare as they were for their first breath
and can run into the dark empty
into the nothing mystery
as bare as they were for their first breath

they have no need for priestly robes
or bindi dots or yamaka caps
or beads of any sort
they have the stars to count
they need no mantra chant on repeat
theirs is the spin of the world
turning in the gears of the universe

some can run bare
and bare they'll be until their death
when they run into the dark empty
into the nothing mystery
as bare as they were for their first breath
