THE DANCE OF SHIVA

THE DANCE OF SHIVA

At Amar, the immortal Nath, this dance of Shiva
confluences the future and the past
in His eternal present,
a moment we call ours:
A helicopter happily hums
at His brow
whilst the dragonflies brood
of times
when the only flight ,
was theirs; to scout these hills..
sitting on an unquestioning horse
a pilgrim gets a flash of this!
Enlightenment?
haha, i wonder what are Shiva's morning greets
these early, enthusiastic visitors
at his window bay
loyally ushered by a shining Sun
a little cream? Parvati smiles
beckoning milky clouds at a fingertip
some jasmine Chai..
Aum Namah Shivaye.
