‘The Destroyer’: Poem by Saurabh Mishra, Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park

No end, no beginning, he is the magical one!
He is fire, he is ice.
He is the king; he is the savior.
Spell him Shiva!

He is playing in seven realms, with closed eyes.
When he opens his third eye, the world is transformed!
There is no one else but you!

You are the volcano; you are the storm!
A poisonous snake coils around your neck,
Your ears adorned with scorpio’s symbol.
Spirits and energies bow to your will.

Offerings of your favorite fruits are made.
He is Mahadev, the one from Kailash.
You are the lord of birth and death!
You stand behind each person.

You guide them alone, so they can grow.
You are the destroyer; you are the savior.
Har Har Mahadev!
