We Tried

 

I am a person.

The Goddess is a person.

We tried oneness and non-duality,

but that was no fun.

So I and Thou

just dance.
Advaita blossoms

in the play of lovers.
We flower in the dark,
the moon and I.
There are not enough stars

to fill our cup, 

so we drink from

the ancient beauty 

of emptiness.
This merging and re-emerging

of Lover and Beloved

is a pulsation 

in the silence of the heart
that creates every particle

out of the void.
I simply let Her be 

my breath

and forget all the rules 

but Joy and Kindness.
