Rudraksha

The yogi,
Did you find him?
After looking for him everywhere
Did he just come and say
I am here?

He was always here
You knew him by the tree
by arch of the woods
The road
that disappeared,
Dancing flowers
Cusp of the moon
Shimmering rain....
 
Look close,
Is there
a tear!
Why does a God cry?
He cries
by the sad
story
of beloved
Prakriti.

when...
the Mahabharata was said and done
Great Krishna sat in contemplation
at his Maya
and he cried too.

BalaRama,
elder image of Krishna
Shiva reluctant
at Mahabharata,
he stayed away
from the war
immensely painful
to bear.

Bhisma,
Shiva at war
at his invincibility
pained
folded his hands
to Krishna
to grant him
the death wish,
explained how
Arjuna
can take him down. 
tired of the mayhem. 
The tears of Shiva are Rudraksha.
His eyes balance the Universe
The Sun and the Moon
The tears,
dew held precious
by flowers.
