HE BLAZES FORTH

 

HE BLAZES FORTH

Everyone wears a pearl gladly.

but Shiva,

He wraps the snake around his neck as call.

Everyone takes measure of their kingdoms ,

large or homely small

but Shiva,

He looks skyward

embracing all.

Then blazes forth

the cosmic dance,

Shiva,

eye of the inner storm.
