Nataraja--The Dance of Shiva
Shiva dances
Within the circle of fire
Expressing harmony
In his perfect figure
The snake on his arm
Is seen uncoiling
The flame in his hand
An endless cycle of birth and death
His cosmic dance
The harbinger of bliss
Destroys the old myths
Creates the new
Releasing men from illusion
He performs his dance
Of creation


Based on Hindu...

Sitting Shiva Again
for Al Weinstock  1939 - 2017

I’m here sitting Shiva again
For a good man who’s long been my friend,
And I’m sure you’ll agree 
If you knew him like me,
That it really was sad at the end.

But that ending’s not what stands tall
When reflecting, considering all
Of...

Shiva
The hurt, the anger. You evoked the fury of Shiva,
The greatest curse on earth, and blessing.
You asked for enlightenment. Stupid request. Unless….

It was compassion that compelled me to destroy,
empathy that inspired me to crush your massive illusions
causing the destruction of your ego,
that wasted so much...

I Am Shiva, Shiva Am I
Mind, intellect ego, nor echoes they spell,
Nor sense of hearing, speech, nor of smell, 
Nor am I earth, fire, air, nor yet space,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss. 

Nor vital Life-force, nor five breath fields,
Seven essences, nor five body shields, 
No limbs of action make what...

Premium Member A Violet For Shiva
In a dim, desolate bog,
between the wavering shadows,
a violet shows its clear blue face
to the wan, desultory sun—
a sweet, pristine reminder
of perennial rotations—
rebirth, dissolution,
waxing from the waning;
all haunting and sublime....

I Sing Glory of Shiva
I sing glory of Shiva
Indian villages woke
Uma took a glance, listened
and began her chore
***
I sing glory of Shiva
The destroyer of evil
Adrija, Adri's daughter
Asked for a mirror...

Shiva My Saviour
I close my eyes to see his face,
    I bow my head to feel his grace.
    He holds my hand when times are tough,
    To give me strength that's enough.
    My Shiva lives...

Lord Shiva
What is attraction?
 Where does it radiate from
 Inside that gourd of mingled mind?
 Each step I take hither that direction
 A feeling bursts into flame
 A lighted candle
 With shadows boogie-boogying 
 Like morphed amoebae
 In a cob-webby womb
 I feel this heated magnetism

Shore Temple
They stood a test of time,
Yet glorified is this shrine,
Build around 700 AD with some submerged and some exposed..
Proudly does she overlook the Bay of Bengal,
As she remains as one of the oldest structural temple,
Who constantly keeps glorifying our ancient scripts,
From the tales of King...

Quantum Non-Locality Or Inseparability
Quantum Non-Locality or Inseparability

When a lady physicist became an environmentalist
Everything in my intellectual life touched your life
A mug may have more uses and lives than a mug
Two mugs may not have to clatter or clash to touch
Because Quantum Physics knows "The Butterfly Effect."
When you laugh,...
