Ardhanarishvara

Ardhanarishvara
how can the mind separate you into two
you are the yin yang
the unity of male and female
shiv, shakti
the beauty of both in one
inseparable in nature
as the fragrance is to the flower
one in heart and creation
one in love and
one in glory
and have never been apart

how have you shown yourself to
be separate
only to a mind that
looks to
the reflections
of your glory
oh ardhanarishvara
you are only one and live now
in everlasting freedom and pure creative energy
synthesized
in emptiness you dwell
as only one
not of form
or mind
but the origin

appearing as a dream
i think not of you this way
yet this mystery is what calls souls
to go elsewhere
away from the real
oh ardhanarishvara
show yourself to be what is true

to the souls that look into the reflections
you are the heart
and the beauty in one
show yourself to be what is true
