during the dipa of the sandhya arati someone comes to look at their watch and sees forest green, black with some silver at play button pompoms, yellow lilies and white roses in the leis take this darsana and get drawn into that land of dedication above taste the current from the power line of their love should we go to the usual point of the hook or maybe go to see the cement boat maybe to "top of the world" we read about in the travel book the racers help us cross the moat turn us into polished cyclists we can thank mi ray for his inspiration to stay focused going on for the long haul the errand runners and recreational guys try to keep up while ratha-bhojana-vrksa gets our respect the kernel of divine love is at the gate drawing us in to begin the ceremony of the bells later in the evening a mellow fellow comes under their spell dress them in their nightdress green and purple "a lion on the chase" yellow and purple are what they wear today dancing and dancing in ecstatic display sometimes he laughs some times cry either way his mood makes everyone touch the sky yellow and purple swirling around turning frowns upside down becoming happy even if you were in misery Mahaprabhu's dancing is the greatest sight to see leis of purple stock roses and petals catch the eye raising souls from the darkness to light "smooth dancing actor" subject of this rhyme cycle babble and i came riding through the storm to the opal place as is the norm with the clouds it was warm by the presence of the storm over the harbor on the bridge road clearing cobwebs from our mental load in the afternoon of a rainy day we aren't the only ones at play there are teams and errand runners out even though "come in out of the rain" 'normal' folks shout round the corner and the shop where i have to stop leave cycle babble to get back to wake 'em by reciting the hymn ratha-bhojana-vrksa gets a bow on past the grazing cow mi ray lets him in soon the ceremony of the bells begin tonight''s "the phoenix" turn to stand upon the simhasana and hurdy-gurdy man lends a hand
