Mountain Heart

Wind on stone. Breath in snow. White peaks glow. Mm, dreams bestow. Step on the path, cold air, warm tongue. I count each rock, like beads one by one. Sky in my lungs, Name on my lips. I let it turn, turn with my hips. Om mani. Mountain heart beating. Om mani. My fear retreating. Om mani. I walk repeating. Om mani padme hum. Hands to the sky, Palms catch light. Dust in the rays, dancing in flight. Old words, new mouth, steady and clear. I ride each sound till I disappear. Om mani. Mountain heart beating. Om mani. My doubt receding. Om mani. I walk repeating. Om mani padme hum. Call in the valley, hey! Answer on high. Voices like rivers, Twist and entwine. Who am I now? Only this tone. Only this breathing, this flesh and bone. Om mani. Mountain heart beating. Om mani. The stones are singing. Om mani. My soul is breathing. Om mani padme hum.
