Shiva
the auspicious destroyer, lord of the dance
aetherShiva dances the world into ash so that it may begin again; to dream of him is to learn that what you must let end is not lost but returned to the stillness from which all things rise.
Fragments
When the drum in his hand falls silent and the last star cools, he will open his third eye, and the fire behind it will unmake even time itself.
High on Kailasa he sits unmoving in meditation, the Ganges caught in his matted hair, a serpent coiled at his throat where the poison of the world sleeps harmless.
