Shivratri Prayer
Sinner,that I am
A puppet,of my desires
Accept me
Lead me from
My wayward journey
Chasing fireflies
Of empty desire
To the steep, rugged stillness
Of renunciation
Lead me from the
Pursuit of temporary happiness
To the search of the permanent
The truth
O' compassionate one
Who bears the poison
That your children not suffer
Help me bear my own
Yet not be embittered
Lead me from the restlessness
Of petty wants
To the stillness
That is you.
