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
