Five ten fifteen twenty thirty even more
seamstress put pieces in Srimati Gandharvika’s sari make our hearts soar
forty is the total now the work is complete
offered on Gaura Purnima
roses star gazers mums with a couple of sumanas flowers
combining in the leis
pedaling through the southland
through the lion’s park school kids playing in the sand
no skaters at the top of their hill
the village comes up fast
following the hook feel the air’s chill
ratha-bhojana-vrksa calls and Murka heads home at last
at the mrga bhavana kalarupa awaits
greeted by an organ grinder and making the sandhya plate
talking like a pirate riding on a horse
of a different color right to the source
in Marakatamani Puri where all things are peaches and cream
putting the thakuras in bed
“pleasant dreams”
come in the natha mandir
see the Thakuras mukuts crystal clear
tell me this will take us home
this one also from Gaura Purnima
full moon holding a rabbit inside
this dress a festival for our eyes
the cape hung nicely wide
this one from Gaura Purnima
could save even the most cripple
with divine mercy’s ripple
this one the color of a cream sicle
that came on Gaura Purnima
arati comes with conch shell’s blast
full rose leis are made so fast
“the mischievous smile” the name is cast
two riders hop on bicycles
each with road triples
going even when daylight has become fickle
remembering this one that came from Garua Purnima
once they get to the hook
even the sufferers have to look
at the dress from Gaura Purnima
ratha-bhojana-vrksa calls
meet kalarupa as the leaves fall
and for the night adbhuta simha dress
they’re ready for rest
enjoying like anything in a way that’s best
