Devotionary Ardor !
In search of my destiny,
I walk a path laid out to you,
taken by many ages ago,
But its not the era I follow !
Tell me o Krishna Do I belong to you ?
I did not grow there with you,
or coquette you,
I was not watched by ur naughty eyes,
or my clothes picked by your hands !
yet O my Lord, I feel your eyes on me !
I did not send you any message,
or give up life else,
I did not marry you,
or bore your child !
yet O my Lord, I feel you in every bond !
Im not a royal heir,
or a poetess !
I did not dance in ecstacy of your love,
or renounce the world for u !
yet o my Lord, I feel you dancing with me in every step !
I'm not ur enchantress,
or your soul companion !
I did not wait for you forever
or see you walk away for ur karma !
Yet O lord, I feel your love in every breath !
I'm not a cowherd,
or a wife,
Im not a saint,
or a charmer !
Tell me o Krishna Am I in those thousands around ?
Tell me o Krishna Do I belong to you ?
Who said, my dear, it's the embrace I seek
I say, my dear, to take a leap of faith
and see
the cowherd, the wife, the saint, the charmer inside !
The Raas leela, an era ago
is alive in the hearts of one who follows !!
For those who did not understand a wee-bit of wht's written above, 2 pointers:
1) Look for color coding !
2) The last stanza is a reply !
