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
