from a heavenly cloud to a magical parting

then in the evening to dance and enjoy swarga mega, a heavenly cloud colored nightdress of boundless joy in early morning near sunrise Mahaprabhu's devotees learned and wise come together for kirtan as the sky is colored nila aruna and syama topped by the mukuts from hymn 43 has all of those colors look closely and see the night before Ekadasi a dress offered for vyasa puja when thakuras all round wore the same colors in synchronicity only by higher arrangement can that be found the sun rises and sets "don't let the sari do that" the seamstress frets making a sound to signal up and down she made me laugh a way to reverse any frown electric green and purple with silver at night and in the day zig zag like a serpent goes as the truth in it's flight with gerbera daisies in the leis smiling at all even at Giridhari from his shoulders purple and orange Krsna is a brahmacari a nightdress that never gets older
