world dissolves


in you the sky is 
and the moon and the clouds and the bright dawn
in you the soul is free 
and without stain or clinging
in you the world is born and disappears

in you shakti is in play
the colors, the shapes the seen 
and unseen
in you flows nature 
the manifestation of form and appearance
rising and falling away
in you the world is born and disappears

in you Shiva is the sun
and does not know birth and death
does not know sin and forgiveness
does not know names and faces 
does not know shadow and light 
does not know here or there 
does not know night and day
does not know me and you
simply lives here as pure presence
unborn and perfect
in you the world is born and disappears

in you men and women come and go
appearances rise and fall
love blooms and dies away
heat and cold, night and day 
movement and stillness
shadow and light
are seen and dissolve
in you the world is born and disappears

in you the seeker is born
and comes and treads the earth
and looks for something other 
and looks to be made whole 
and looks to be not untrue any longer 
and looks to shake off the shadows 
and falls down and rises up
and dissolves away leaving reality
bare and naked 
in you the world is born and disappears

in you the dream flows on 
the day dream, the night dream
the visions
the thought that says this is this way
and that is that way
and you are here 
and the world is there
moving, changing shape and dying away
in you the world is born and disappears

in you Kali is awake and in action
whether keeping blinders in place 
or pulling away the covers 
in you surrender is living or 
resistance is at the helm
going against the current
or laying down and allowing grace
to move the being 
in you the world is born and disappears

in you mind dissolves 
and leaves a fresh beauty that has no name or face 
and leaves a glory filled heart 
that sees of itself 
as there is no other 
and sees not the world as separate 
but as it is 
in sweet perfection 
in peace and light 
in you the world is born and disappears
