Searching Shiva

By Nishant Pandey

When i was born i didn't know Shiva..

When i got senses i perceived sense is Shiva..

Learned a bit physiology believed life is Shiva..

Met with some confidantes accepted friendship is Shiva..

Grandma died in my arms thought death is Shiva..

Tsunami gave an introduction was frightened that destruction is Shiva..

Inhaled so-called sacrament considered fun is Shiva..

Promised someone to live and die with pictured love as Shiva..

Faced betrayal and failure realized reality is Shiva..

Looked back in life assigned time is Shiva..

After appreciating and blaming him for all good and bad,

After knowing inner me and experiencing life,

After burying all the material feelings and emotions,

I finally felt that i am Shiva
