AWAKE TO THE KNOWING OF WHO HE IS

 

AWAKE TO THE KNOWING OF WHO HE IS

Shiva sleeps on a perilous ledge on a mountain top,

and we are scared, but we forget:

The Yogi never sleeps.

He dreams, and knows too, the deep dreamless state called sleep

but He is always awake.

This is not about the opening of the eyelids

but the knowing in every bone and muscle,

every vein and every breath the knowing

of who He is.

Shiva the lord, Mahadev.

the One we love.
