surely all good people offer their heads at the lord's feet each day
and become satisfied in this simple way
following the angels and making themselves a new and transcendental life
darsana of this green and yellow cuts the fear of our worried minds like a knife
remember all the flowers are for the leis
for all the devotees to use
arranging them in any pattern that they want
remembering this cycle babble and i are spinning on the street
hearing the screech owls,humming birds and robins tweet
blowing the cobwebs out of our brains
all the way to the point of the hook where it's high tide again
round about with the team ahead natural bridge and the pier
circle the spinner's church dandavat to Bhakta Blade at his kutir
round the corner cruiser king takes his leave
then there's the marcedo de las pulgas i believe
ratha-bhojana-vrksa sees our hands folded
a smile on his face molded
it's hada madrina who pulls us in
let the bells begin
in the evening the lotus nails
the nightdress again no signs of being old and frail
just about midnight came the lord's emissary
to give everyone a chance
to make connection with his merciful glance
the shades of purple reminiscent of that night
hail the beacon light
hammering cause it's a quick one
to the lion's park then up the village to the see the bear
stop and give him some gentle care
tracing the shape of the cove on between the lakes
over the harbor to the natasala and the shop
round the corner passing the officer's shrine
thru treacherous triangle while the sun still shines
ratha-bhojana-vrksa treats us as he should
we bow our heads and he blesses us as only he could
a boy the color of a fresh raincloud waits at the door
celebrating bells are devotees by the score
this evening they are "deep within the far off jungle"
now devotees are set for sleep
praying the lord their souls will keep
so in the morning when they wake
sunrise bells will bless everyone with no mistake
