YOU RAINED

 

YOU RAINED

When Grace happened,

you rained.

This desert heart

Renounced its pain.

You rained

and finally,

in every drop

I saw the same.

When Grace happened

I was swept

in a sea

forever changed.

~ Shiva Poetry derived from Sivastrotravalli, Sage Utpala’s praise of Shiva’s anugraha ( grace- blessings )
