Dance of Shiva

the head ovoid 
a floating balloon
tethered to heart
where we dwell

we notice thoughts
as also sensations
at play therein
feeding the ego

agape love humming
in toroidal heart 
simply looking on
does not interfere

in timeless time
thought forms conjured
by wayward ego
crumble to dust

bereft of thought
a thousand suns
illuminate the void
within the head

consciousness yet still
observes the dance
wondrous yet ephemeral 
in organic form
