I seek the hidden door,  
one that leads to a higher plane—  
where bodies cannot follow,  
but wisps of souls remain.

What map will guide my steps?  
What key unlocks the door?  
What wisdom must I gather  
to face what waits before?

My sangha  
bathes in the sound of chakras’ chants.  
We bow, we bend, we twist  
through a timeless, sacred sequence.  
We sigh, then sip each breath,  
rooted in earth’s warm embrace,  
the chatter of our minds erased.

Eyes closed,  
I focus between my brows.  
Still in darkness, a figure appears—  
and in the hush between breaths  
I could have sworn I heard it say:  
close the door,  
keep the noise at bay.

Returning to my breath,  
for a few moments more,  
I rise above  
Samsara’s sway.
