To Lord Shiva

Inspired by Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu.


How lucky are the stone carved pillars in your temple,they sit there all day absorbing you.

How lucky are the stone floors of your temple, where your devotees walk all over them. 

How lucky is that bhoomi that carries your shrine on her head. 

How lucky is the air of that land, that dances her way in and out of every corridor of your temple. 

How lucky is the water of the land that trickles down your body every hour and runs through the veins of your temple.

How lucky is the vastness of your temples where temple bells sing your glory.

How lucky is the sun rays of that land that heats up your shrine, selfishly  keeping you all to himself in his warmth.

How lucky is the night sky of that land where the moon's coolness touches your feet.

Where lullabies and smoky incenses are arranged for you and Parvati to rest for the night. 

How lucky are those magnificent entrances that stands guard while you rest.
