What work of art can impress a God? Just focus on earnestness and beauty of heart, they won't be disappointed because you didn't improvise Faust for them

there's really two answers to this 
one hand, op isn't the first to be tasked with this, people throughout history have restructured their entire lives, their communities, some even the entire world to prepare themselves. the shiva tandava stotra is a piece of multidimensional poetry written by ravana, still sung to this day. that's saying nothing of all of shankara's work and millions of lines written, or any other sage
on the other hand, shiva is Bholenath, a name meaning innocence and simplicity. meaning he is satisfied with even the simplest offering. there's a story of a colony of ants that built a shivalingam and it became a holy site.
either way, super exciting stuff

Of course; I did not imply that it need be a modest offering, but rather that he should not feel fear or apprehension at offering at all- this would only strain it, I feel. Rather, when you feel like you are doing something out of your heart, and earnestly, it will be done at a galloping pace and with freedom, like a horse returning from war; if changing history is what his heart desires, he will do so. 

But Shiva in the dream seems to be asking for a letter of asking, not much more.

ah, brilliant

Like I have thought before (not entirely original, mostly influenced by some videos), your work is not only your own, it is an interworking between you and that god/the gods. You 'realize' that work of art along with them, and it is beautiful in having been just that, even if objectively it is lacking, or naive. If you are proud of it, if you feel like you've finished it, then it is finished. The gods do not ask for epics from poetasters, and they do expect nothing less than your heart (the important part, not the sediment beating inside you). These are only my thoughts, do not follow them, only be inspired at your discretion.

Above all, love

>If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it.
Give to God in earnst, in devotion, in love, and God will give you whatever you require to give God the best gifts.
This is the essence of the eternal, loving relationship between the atomic soul and the Infinite Soul. A contest of reciprocation where the lover gives everything to the beloved and the beloved finds every way to use what is given to please the lover.
