In the beginning was One,
In that one did they dwell,
Undifferentiated, unbroken,
Total bliss was their shell.
" Oh! I wish to play", she said,
And He acquiesced.
"But don't complain of loneliness", he warned,
" For I shall only be the witness."
In her gaiety, as she bloomed,
The void began to cease,
And then it began, the cosmic play,
As the flower called her bees.
Universes sprang up, galaxies arose,
The elements mingled,
The planets rose.
Zillions of lives,actors became,
And with them came their form,
With them came their name.
He became time, the grim witness,
Musing at the play,
Of his beloved mistress.
As eons rolled on,Darkness descended,
The life forms corrupted,
The happiness ended.
Misery ensued, sadness prevailed,
The unjust became mighty,
In this chaos she quailed.
"This isn't what I wanted, this isn't why I played,
Oh! won't you come and end this? ",
To her beloved she prayed.
From his quiescence he woke,
Smiling at her sorrow,
Time stood still,as he danced aloft,
His moves destroying the morrow.
She rose from the chasm,
In reply to his call,
Together they danced,
The fetters began to fall.
As the two danced as one,
Duality disappeared,
The knower became the known,
The seen merged with the seer.
In the end there remained one,
Their bliss becoming a death-knell,
Eternity merged into Unity,
And united did they dwell.
