‘Shiv-Shakti’: Poem by Janvi Sharma, Apeejay School, Tanda Road, Jalandhar

Shiva is fearless,
And shakti is one in whole,
The strand of love
Between them is divine
And unbreakable.
They are due and made for each other.
Without one another they
Are nothing.

They form the half of
Each other that we
Call the Ardhnarishwar swaroop.
If a devotee worships
Even one of them
Then he will
Get the fruit of making
Both of them as his ideal
As they are just one soul
But play different roles.

If one is Rudra then the other
Is the calming one.
It is just the right
Of Mahakali to cut
The path of the beloved Mahakal.

They are the ideals and
Devotees of each other.
Being together they
Can make the universe by
Lasya or even
Destroy it by doing
Tandava.

The bond of love and
Respect between them
Is just so divine which
We got to learn through
Maa Sati, who left her
Human body as she
Saw the unbearable
Disrespect of her other half.

That’s why we say that,
The strand of love
Between them is divine
And unbreakable.
They are due and made for
Each other.
Without one another they
Are nothing 

And with each other they are nature
And even the entire universe.
