Damayanti’s song

I am a candle in the darkness

Lighting the way in the distance

Holding up the lantern

I beckon to those who are lost

On the path of Dharma

On the Shadowed path

On the Trackless ways

I am a Wayfarer

To those who are lost

A warm hearth-fire

With rest and refreshment

Sweet offer of clarity

So they can find their bearings

To those who are unsure

A calming hand

Support for their inspiration

Delight at new ideas being formed

To those who are trapped

A fire that clears the bramble

The weapon that cuts down the predators

I protect those who are dear to me

I am the Wayfarer

A fellow traveler on all journeys

I stand upon the bridge

Spanning the waters

Where fish and otters play

Holding up a lantern

To those who come with peace

A warm meal and good conversation

To those who come with harm

My weapon will meet them

Fear Not!

You are not alone

I am the flame in the darkness

My wrath cleanses the blight

I strike down the wicked

So there may be safe passage

For the path of Dharma

For the Shadowed path

For the Trackless ways

I am the Wayfarer

To those who worry of loss

Mourning what is behind them

My compassion will arrive

Help unknown with words that soothe

To those who suffer injustice

Weary, injured and scarred

A presence of strength

That will direct them to the light

I defend those who are dear to me

I am the Wayfarer

A fellow warrior on the battleground

I stand upon the causeway

Spanning the rough water

Where monsters hunt and breed

Leading the war-torn from the wasteland

To those who are refugees

I direct them towards their new home

To those who would corrupt

I am the poison in their cups

Fear Not!

I am with you

I am the golden star in the darkness

Dancing through midnight and dawn

Joy and Despair tempered with Hope

I call those who are caught in between

To the path of Dharma

To the Shadowed path

To the Trackless ways

I am the Wayfarer

To those who are wandering

A beacon of inspiration to carry on

A radiant laugh of delight

May the journeys continue!

To those who have fallen

A hand up out of the pit

A beaming smile, full of endurance

Come! There is always a way through

To those who mourn

Deep within the blackest night

I will wrap you in my cloak of starry twilight

As I gently wipe away your tears

I love those who are dear to me

I am the Wayfarer

A guide to aid you on your path

I walk along the marble arch

Across calm waters

Illuminated by the Moon

Singing my secret song

A star cradled in my hand

To those who seek

Many paths branch before me and beyond

An infinite myriad of horizons ahead

Endeavor and discover!

To those who stalk the righteous

Confusion is all that they will find

Twisted ways will lead them astray

May my husbands hunt them

Fear Not!

I have walked these ways with you
