Notes About The Poem

Dance of Shiva

Supported by Brahma Holding erect energies Shakti engages in play In the stream of soma Igniting our central vein As a gift to our presence Receptive in surrender Aligned with love divine Centred in the vast void Encased by feeble form The dance of polarities When graced by Mother Enlivened by magnetism Manifests bliss frictional That pervades each node Gripping heart in rapture Yearning replaces desire As bliss currents caress Grazing touch seductive Vaporising our lower mind Wherein free will chooses To dissolve in the ocean Becoming the ocean itself Whist yet soul now whole 12-January-2022

Names are labels. All paths converge onto the singular truth

Deep, soulful writing. When I used to speak of Nataraja, my new audiences relate to "dance of atoms" or if "quarks, squarks, electrons, and selectrons." The challenge is to meet people ( in speaking) where they are. Then raise the bar. You try valiantly. The Universe begins, sustains, rebirths -- in dance, after dance of decay. shalOm
