Poem: Just Being
Mar 8, 2024
Happy Mahashivratri. The one night I look forward to.
I am so grateful for just being in this night. Everything else does not matter. Just being is a blessing. I don’t need anything more. Lord Shiva.
Poem: Just Being
Who wants the panacea of time-
When I am seeking timelessness
Who wants the boundaries-
When I seek the limitless
Who knows that love is boundless
Who knows that he is just one-half
The inertness and ignorance
The darkness and silence
The light of wisdom and
The sound of creation
You and me, and everything else
The indeterminate and the infinite
Why should I need to seek
When I am bestowed
With all the blessings of just being
Oh, Lord Shiva.
