| | A Thousand Dhuni Fires
You carry the scent of A Thousand Dhuni Fires
your flesh is part ash from the fire You exhume
whirling, spinning in all directions is Agni
spitting sparks, lightning and daggers of destruction
You carry the Karma of A Thousand Brahma's
the jeta flows down as ribbons, some laced to your ankles
arches of your jeta, arches of your arms, your legs
over the creation you cover all as a blanket
ashes All, in that blanket You hold All within your samadhi
ashes and the smell of the burnt
all the worlds are at your feet
trampling on the devotees, it is You, Siva Rudra
destruction and emptiness of All
all that which is left behind, all that after
even the bright stars die into You, light into dark
Siva the endless end, empty of Brahma and Visnu
Shankara the fullest fullness, the container of Brahma and Visnu
in the endless end You are only the fire
in the fullest fullness You sport the ashes of the fire
and now I can smell You near
for the bull brings You near and the scent proceeds You
the musky odor of A Thousand Dhuni Fires, A Thousand Karma burnt
the breath of Agni surrounds You as a mask
here, my Lord Siva, is the incense to welcome You !!!
Poetry from Shankara's Siva Recollections.
