Eyes shut for just a moment
Lips caught in a playful smirk
Toddler tummy held erect
Chubby feet wrapped around
Ashen blue against a silver moon
Little Rudra knows not His power
A single thrust of this still Trident
Could rip a hole in the open sky
The Great Lord is the immortal Yogi,
Primordial Conqueror of omnipotent Death
Let Him be, let Him play
For when He grows, He has to slay
Let the world wait for Him awhile
Let Him not open His Third Eye.
