Beyond the ebb and flow and strain
Beyond the waxing and the wane ~
I am Shiva ~ I am Shiva
By billowed Breath,
the causeless Cause
I am the great Eternal Pause ~
I am Shiva ~ I am Shiva
Oh Joyous Fount of endless Bliss
Nought is there more,
or high, than this ~
I am Shiva ~ I am Shiva
Transcendent,
Far beyond and pure
I the One – alone –
endure –
I am Shiva ~ I am Shiva
Written night before Ganesha Puja in Zermatt next to the Matterhorn.
