The poem led me
to a new awareness as the words flowed naturally onto the page..---However,
it’s a fictitious spiritual journey!
Under starry sky, drones of flute
break out... tearing the sounds of crickets
i step out clutching my flute
Sit down in an allée of
low and shady trees; undulated
with insights and
impressions…
The
south-western breeze wafts in
the fragrances of Jasmines,
Gerbera, Lilies, and Marigolds
Burn
like incense around me
Gaunt
trees stare; moon strolls by
pearling the air- stretching,
smiling, lazy…
I linger on- offering obeisance
to my transcendental love
Surrendering myself,
Surrendering myself,
i drift towards His Lotus feet
Nothing...absolutely nothing can control me
like a stream in the monsoon, I keep coiling
into a whirlpool- until awakened
by exuberant chanting of
…’ Krishna', Krishna' krishna...
Nothing...absolutely nothing can control me
like a stream in the monsoon, I keep coiling
into a whirlpool- until awakened
by exuberant chanting of
…’ Krishna', Krishna' krishna...
Echoes
magnify- I feel breathless
As I see my blue God
As I see my blue God
Clad in bright yellow
Effulgent in rays of sapphire –
With a peacock feather on crown
Smiling
in brilliant insouciance
Playing His flute of delight!
Blue-God Krishna... |
The
Magic is in believing without having to see. Not everything can be seen or
touched… Best things in life are only felt :-) ‘Janamashtami’ is Krishna’s birthday and we’ll be celebrating Krishna’s birth tomorrow..♥
