In shimmering ebb of
evening's closing tide
I kneel and kiss
Your jeweled footprint
above a trillion super stars
illumine the temple dome
and a crescent moon floats
near the crown of my head
I've forgotten my name
and the way home
long ago washed out to sea
there is no existence apart
from You
I wander the dazzling shoreline
a cobra draped around my neck
I am Shiva
the thousand petaled One
