Shakti bows to Shiva
Their eyes lock
Universes collide
Everything she IS, she gives
A firework display of shooting stars and supernovas dance across the still pools of his gaze
Comets, meteors and asteroids spring forth from her Being
An alluring dance of colour and light
Yet still, he remains unstirred
Their gaze deepens and as it does so does his Silence
Burning with the fury of the one who remains unseen, unnoticed, she meets him in that Silence
Her Being expands to the size of the Universe
She is both Space and the Life dancing in that Space
Both matter and anti-matter
Both dark and light
And yet, and yet, he disappears beyond her view
A disappearance of such great proportion that no matter where she looks she cannot find him, cannot see him, unmoving in the spaceless space beyond her perception
Fury rises
How could he leave her?
She rises as the entire cosmos
Breathtaking in her beauty
Untameable in her power
Insatiable in her love
And still, he chooses this?
Oceans rise as the tears begin to roll and pour
As her pulse quickens, volcanoes rumble and spew
As the fire in her Being burns ever brighter
And then, in a moment of unutterable grace
She learns the movement he has made
Falling
Falling
Not from Grace
But from the throne
Of her Kingdom
Of Life
She sees the storm she has created and the hands that work this storm
Swords strike forth from her Heart cutting the hands of this one
Only Space remains as the silent eye of this storm consumes her
A relief she knew not that she craved
Release from the very breath that sustains her
An exhale into Nothing …
