Shiva


You are designed to destroy
You are designed to triumph
With the sheer strength
You can slain any defiance

You keep your calm
You watch the sins
You show your compassion
Till darkness fills up to the brim

You live in the land of the holy
You care for dear Nandi
The gleaming serpent is your ornate
The flowing water, a crown over your head

You gained the respect of the Meluhans
You changed the rules of generations
You challenged the path of Lord Rama
You even challenged light when it dimly shone

How do you manage
To balance imperfection
We mortals, chase perfections
Hmmm..Somewhere we all know it is just ambition

Day turns to night and night turns to day
We turn our leaves, everyday seems the same
Yesterday we fought, to seek perfection
And we are still in a motion of ambition

I see what I lost yesterday
Would not have lost if I had not thought of today
Why don’t you play your damru 
        and pace our heartbeat;
Let in our minds we dance – as we traverse 
        the peaceful path of life

Since you are designed to destroy
Let there be peace of mind
As I know there is no perfection
I at least want to enjoy this life

Embrace reality –
Embrace slow –
Embrace life –
Let there be, first, peace of mind

‘Om Namah Shivay’
