SHIVA AS THE LORD OF DANCE 950-1000

You are the cradler of desire
The hope from which
All blessings came
Shiva four hands span
Illusion framed by
Halos feigned in fire
Halos feigned in fire
Dancer drumming
Time above us
Dwarfs stomped ignorance below
Turn the third hand
Reassure us
You can move
From cobra’s fang
Bring protection’s flame
Of wildness, fire
Begets chaos and calm
