Shiva

Smiling at me with those half-open eyes on my soul
Smiling at me with those half-open eyes on my soul

Carrying signs in the palms of our earth-given hands
Finding a pattern in all that we don't understand
Shiva is smiling with love through his half-open eyes

Counting the clocks in a river of infinite life
Slicing the heart of something with some blunt, rusty knife
Shiva is smiling with love through his half-open eyes

Shiva

Too much to know and too much not to know what you think
Dancing on toes so maliciously poised at the brink
Shiva creates the destruction of all that we know
Shiva destroys the creation so that we may grow

Shiva
