Srimati Gandharvika's sari
needs be wrapped a little low
otherwise her feet might show
and if it's not flared just right
it may settle low
like the sun's morning and evening light
then for emphasis seamstress made a sound
that made murka laugh and spin around
flowers and bold colors for the first ekadasi day
full roses and gerberas in the leis
pups mukut and effulgence atop this
lifted everyone's spirits to the realm of bliss
now cycle babble and i go outside to play
on this misty day
waiting for the sun
but it seems that it won't come
unless it's from inside of you
a halo for all to view
on the main street a group of school boys
relishing their student's joy
cycle babble looks into their eyes speaks straight to their face
with a voice that came from the messenger from inner space
other cyclists along the way in their finest rain gear
chuckled when they came near
enough to hear
the incantations from the odd looking pair
on that wet afternoon
when cyclists were rare
spinning between the lakes from tennis park
the sky would soon be getting dark
so time had come to hammer racing the daylight
keeping the pitch on the right
on the winding street as you might suspect
coming to ratha-bhojana-vrksa we offered respect
kumar was there to greet us
welcoming us back home
appearing like a lawn gnome
after the sandhya ended
thakuras dressed for rest
in a purple outfit when we saw were blessed
to get all together didn't take the seemstress
long
so it's called "it's a miracle mom"
have you seen the thakuras today?
Sri Giridhari with his jeweled cape swirling about?
they happily dance on the simhaasana
purple of easter stoles in their dress
yellow dhotis
Srimati Gandharvika has gold flowers on her veil
leis of roses gerbera and other daisies
zinnias mums combine so artistically
they take refreshment from their
devotee's hands anything that they bestow
will cycle babble and i never stop
how deep does the cycling run in our hearts?
as the area grows interstates neighborhood gates will keep all apart
well, i don't think so an istaghosti
behind Mr.B's shop people speaking with glee
one wild cyclist calls out guara premanandi
to all the branches of the bhakti tree
thru the harbor past the dui cakra
sun is putting out it's light
sprint thru treacherous triangle and
hear the detailer's sankirtana band
up the long winding street
respecting ratha-bhojana-vrksa forest smells so sweet
cotton tails tell cycle babble his day is complete
sandhya comes and goes
thakuras get ready for rest
wearing white with red and olive ribbon
"deep within the far off jungle"
enjoying the quest
