Ganga Moksha at Haridwar

by Mukesh Williams

Sometimes

When you stand at night

By the shore of the Ganga

Eagerly waiting for a boat

To take you where

Everyone is going, and

You see

The oil lamps rocking

On its surface

In the dark,

You feel a startling touch

Of some archetypal force

Turning you

Towards an unknown path

Leading you

Through a watery gateway

Towards moksha and

For a moment you wonder

If this is the time to step aside,

Or continue your earthly sojourn.
