Echoing whispers, the silence, a maverick

her velvet voice calls, as she bids me to come

I cascade through reason, sanities labyrinth  

an ethereal enigma exposed, leaving me numb

A serenade rises, like a dream, in a soft mist

The promise of oneness, to its sweetness, succumb

Heaven and earth created love's solitary kiss

Theyyam is a ritual form in Kerala, India. This particular Theyyam is one variation of ‘Pottan Theyyam’, a vivid, lively and colourful ritualistic performance which comes in the traditional art form of Theyyam. It is believed Pottan Theyyam is a manifestation of Shiva. ‘Pottan Theyyam’ is traditionally performed with a large fire, the embers of which ‘Pottan Theyyam’ will rest upon (with the people insisting/requesting him to get up). After the performance and customs, the locals may approach and speak with ‘Pottan Theyyam’ and receive his response and blessing.
