Stars
sunset…
all lights have
disappeared willingly
from the outside
to enlighten me
a dark space
all words have ceased,
need for big and small talks
rest in eternal peace,
I feel a sun rising
in silence, a soft golden
ray, I feel a sense of warmth,
I dance with mridangam*
right in the middle of
stark violence, the wind
playing inside the magical flute,
the argent touch of the ardent moon
tells me how absurdly false
the blood of hatred is;
I feel the healing energy of truth;
love, magic, miracle, abundance,
spread all around in delight,
throughout day and night
by the golden and the silver stars.

I especially like where this goes, with:
I feel the healing energy of truth;
love, magic, miracle, abundance,
spread all around in delight,
throughout day and night
by the golden and the silver stars.
I am not certain, but is that Nandi playing mridangam? Any significance?

Thank you Allen for your response. Glad you liked the lines.
Yes, you are right. It’s Nandi playing the mridangam. Nandi played the instrument during Shiva’s primordial tandava dance with the corpse of his beloved. Right in the middle of the chaos, the instrument is said to have caused a divine rhythm to resound across the heavens; it is thus referred to as ‘deva vaadyam’, or ‘Divine instrument’.
Best.

Super interesting.

Pleasure.
probably related to the celestial monochord. all ancient races know this basic truth about a ‘divine’ rhythm it seems.
Yes. As days went by, knowledge got distracted in amnesia.
