My Lotus Bloom

Oh Great Hari
the light of this world
the heart of my love
these eyes swim for You
smiling softly

Adoring your delectable form
the mind loses itself
being a stranger
to itself
it basks in You

Out of nothing arise
sweet joys
alas the tide ushers in
moments of deep
and lasting peace

Oh how tender
the lotus of your eyes
blooming pink
as if shyly blinking
winking at your child

O Lord of the tiny weed
that springs in your yard
You nourish it
nurture its spirit
it’s to You I owe this life

My darling Bhagwan
I ask of You
rid the world of its miseries
carve them some place
where no one can be hurt

In your beautiful smile
the incalculable universe
oh what innocence lies in those eyes
You have stolen my heart
for all times to come

I pray to You
to give life to the living
a softer touch to the dying
whatever it is
let it pass

I miss You beloved Lord
though I only gazed upon you
a few hours ago
You stood so still
as if the long day had tired You

Now it rains
raindrops on the roof
in their shrill resound
the sweet fall
I hear You

Come now, my sweet lotus bloom
I know…you hear me too
