Shiva

By Rituranjan Gogoi

The eye of the cosmos burns

Infinite in the dark

Eternal

A billion suns explode within the self

End and beginning

Beginning and end

Conscious and the subconscious

Dissolves in to a surreal dream

Like wisps of smoke from the chillum

Coalescing in to the Dance

Transcendent

Moon and the River

The Goddess and the God

Ouroboros around the neck

Tasting the salt of time

A sleeping rage of the big-bang

Immemorial

The eye twitches in a trance

Of death and beyond

Immutable
