SHIVA NATARAJ
My life is part of a cosmic dance.
I am an individual
Thinking outside the box,
Apart from the masses.
Resisting no longer
My flame burns bright,
But brief.
This tragedy gives opportunity for growth.
I do not fear
But
UNFOLD.
EVOLVE.
Time and space are elastic.
Form becomes transparent.
Shiva Nataraj, the god of creation AND destruction
SHOWS ME THE STILL POINT.
Each matchstick holds
ETERNITY.
Each dancing atom holds
INFINITY.
Living outside the box there is no flame.
EXHAUSTED.
And, there is ONLY flame.
A dance
of
Rhythm
In the universe.
I can't pretend to understand the mysticism but as a poem, there are some lovely images.
ReplyDeletedeep truth in these words. I ear the lesson: make the moment yours for however long it lasts!
