have you seen the thakuras in their pink today
with the little bits of green
they dance and sway the day away
as memory comes that Srimati Gandharvika's eyes are green
at least that's what some say
leis of roses and gerbera daisies
showing the world their faces
mukuts of jari thread in lotus shape
while Srimati Gandharvika's is one which the same say
is called a Sita Mukut
does this combination of pink and green
go on eternally?
it seems that it will be forever seen
cycle babble and i spin under the canopy of trees
feeling the breeze and the cold
waves wearing their white caps keeping the sufferers in their folds
from the cove past the tennis park on serve
by the natasala the beasts are thick and we had to swerve
through treacherous triangle to choc-o-lot strawberry house
ratha-bhojana-vrksa smiles seeing us bow
urging us get back for bells any how
the lotus nails tonight not a weapon
still sharp enough to put a hurt on
Hiranya Kasipu after
his ultimate capture
they take their rest
raising with a smile with which all will soon be blessed
this lunar day is amavasya
remembering leis like daisy chains that laugh
keeping all the devotees on the path
the bumblebees are on her veil
the curtain opens and they put their faces on the floor
each and every devotee knows the score
cycle babble and i sprint off in the early afternoon
main street round the bout and up the beach hill
if sufferer thakura sees one of his flock taking a spill
come see the Thakuras in their "Madhuvrata" on this day of the dark moon
we hear the voice of Gurudeva in our heads
circle spinner's church
direction has to change
treacherous triangle is light and that's strange
ratha-bhojana-vrksa smiles as our palms fold
mi ray makes a joke to lighten our load
the sound of bells in our ears
our vision becomes clear
"Madhuvrata" is the dress of the dark moon
as night closes in purple and green offers everyone a boon
thakuras are dressed
warmly for rest
