Notes About The Poem

Ardhnarishwara

in the dead of the night
when we are lying flat on our back
as tranquil stillness drapes pristine silence
we surrender to a benign bliss attack

attention softens in timeless meditation 
poised in the bardo as awareness self-aware
in the vibrant void of cessation we vaporise
that grid looping form with mind of God doth pair

from root to crown at back along the spine
as also over front to create a vertical split
as a seamless whole the grid goes live
thus lamp of magnetic light in form is lit

like a band of steel with no gap at all
divine energy is sensed as cool heat
the benediction flows into our waking state
vibrance of being-ness that does not deplete
