This mind, like a firefly, flashes into existence,
Just to call lovers of the Dark One! Having been summoned into my beloved Kali, Her Blackness so mystical, so absorbing, The mind disappears in Her like a candle dropping into the midnight ocean, Even the cry of ecstasy is lost in Her depths. Yet those who gaze into Her unfathomable Void take on a glow that those with sight can see! How sublime to reflect Her Dark Light! How sublime to share Her grace-filled gifts! Extinguish your self in Her this very instant! She has waited so long, so patiently to embrace you ‹ Her Beloved.
