flow of writing... sundara

dear,
know yourself
like Shiva is with Paravati
one, inseparable and whole
like sundara and her lover
he never laid eyes on her
in the way of wanting her in the flesh
yet loved her truly and deeply
she was young
and not in her mind shell yet
as a one that is fully grown

one evening,
she went to be with her lover
who said he was waiting for her
in the house where he lived
when she went there,
he said he was making a meal
she said to him, dear,
what are you making?
and he said, food for the mind and heart
she said, may i taste it?
he said, indeed, my love
taste the fruit of joy which is non-dual
here, my love
when you eat it
your mind and heart will not ever be
in doubt
you will be stripped of your wandering
thoughts
and always be still
he then gave her the food of love and joy
and perfection
she ate of it
and did not desire anymore worldly ways
she instead, was quiet
then, she loved her companion
as she loved herself
which was the way she was meant to be
as two rivers flow in separation
(it appears from a one in duality)
this food so sweet, given by her companion
which was grace
blessed her with non-dual vision
then, this sense of separation
vanished completely
what beauty is this souls!
two being one
and nothing divided any longer
to bring the heart to ache
yes, there are still emotional releases
but how they are like a cloud burst
come and then gone

sundara, she lived as a saint
she was a buddha
or a still one
she never moved from this state
and her lover
never was to be seen as a one that was
separate any longer
how very sweet
