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.
