iron – THIS HAPPENED

Shiva of infinite name & form,
You are everywhere within our sight.
You guide our journey invisibly,
You remain close all through the long night.

as iron is called by the magnet,
Your wholeness calls out to the fragment!

You are the distant thunder booming
in the far hills of the searching mind.
Shiva, You show Your face in the clouds
& we leave our distractions behind.

as iron is called by the magnet,
Your wholeness calls out to the fragment!

Shiva, You free us from delusion
to reveal the holiness hidden
in the playful changes of maya,
& all that we still call forbidden!

as iron is called by the magnet,
Your wholeness calls out to the fragment!

Shiva of infinite name & form,
You are everywhere within our sight.
You guide our journey invisibly,
You remain close all through the long night.

i come to You as a beggar when i ask You to grant me Your grace. i come to You as a seeker when i chant Your mantra every day. i come to You as a lover when i sing praises of Your glory. i come to You as a servant when i find You living in my heart. i come to You as a devotee, humble, having no words at all. i come to You as iron comes to the irresistible magnet. i come to You in gratitude that You saved me from my lonely hell.
