Fickle Heart Narayan





You are just a traveler
on a narrow mountain pass

The views may be stunning
but don't spend too much time
watching the colors change
in the sky

Keep going forward
and don't look down...
or back

There is still much to be done
and only a little time
before the sun goes down
forever...
on your fancy clothes
and fine head of hair


If you leave The Friend waiting too long
she'll take out her sword
and cut you right in half

and laugh as you fall down the slopes
on both sides,
at the same time

Don't forget just why you came here...
the views are breathtaking

but they are just views
and The Friend is still waiting
with a golden sword in one hand
and a bowl of nectar in another

Narayan
