Lord Shiva
World destroyer
you dance
the sacred bones
ash faced
and moon eyed
Your secret smile
knows the truth
rendered blind
to others
Understanding
beyond limitations
from this is gained
the serenity of
destruction
From his own
annihilating
forces
creation is allowed
to spring from
life’s pure well
Fear not he
who shakes
the earth
beneath our feet
Come before
his feet
and be blessed
by the lord
of the sacred
dance
It is the
dance of life
only in death
comes renewed
growth
One world dies
another springs
forth
the balance
which must be
maintained
For only through
coldness
is the warmth felt
he welcomes
as he repels
