The Sage of Kailasha Pt-1

once upon a time, atop kailasha
sat a sage, who was woken up by his rage
the bearer of trident with powers
knowledge desire and execution
drum on the trident
that chants the teachings of vedas
a serpent around his neck
his ego, his ornament
rudraksh in his hand
his hair knotted like a dress
within his hair dwells ganga
which flows through time, passing wisdom
transpired from one epoch to the other
moon on his forehead
the master of time , timeless himself
the possessor of the third eye of knowledge
destroyer of evil and ignorance
cosmic dancer who when performs
his divine dance destroys a weary universe
for he is the one who personifies purity
one called the red one....

for he scowled at the man who broke his meditation
he looked down upon him
the man looked up at the sage
dawned his spiteful tale
the sage listened... though his ire persisted
