Nataraja--The Dance of Shiva

Shiva dances Within the circle of fire Expressing harmony In his perfect figure The snake on his arm Is seen uncoiling The flame in his hand An endless cycle of birth and death His cosmic dance The harbinger of bliss Destroys the old myths Creates the new Releasing men from illusion He performs his dance Of creation Based on Hindu Mythology
