even this

all i'm ever loving is You, Shiva --
for all is spun out of You
& threaded through & throughout
the tapestry of this maya.

only You observe through these eyes,
only You warm this body.
my wordlessness is Yours too,
& my words as well, my silence.

i can only find You inside
what i thought was me & mine.
i look for me & i'm gone.
only awareness remains --
even this is You, Lord Shiva,
as we dance this dance in tandem!
