Swami
Will you come tonight?
the gold moon hangs
full and low
a lantern beaming between
dark pine branches
I wait with a gardenia blossom
in my hand and the fragrance
of night blooming jasmine
in my hair
O Lotus eyed Lord
bhajans fall like petals
from my lips
Console us with the
sound of Your dancing ankle bells
Frogs are croaking in the garden
fairy solar lamps light a fragrant path
for you to walk upon
Frightful sounds of the world fade
away with holy hymns as the
mist sweetly parts
I wait like Radha waited for her
Krishna and Mira Bai too
only the blush of Your Love
sustains us
Perfume the world with your
Sacred Presence
