Homage to Srila Prabhupada

by premanandi devi dasi

futile as a child
in a candy store
try to stay wild
never-ending "more"
highs born
to float away
love torn
paved in pain
forget you
in search of joy
crying mule
maya's toy
only tone
i reach to hear
your voice alone
liberate my tear
gravity of my heart
never let me go
i just fall apart
trying to go solo
press play
bathe in your sound
amazing grace
lost soul you found
garlands draped
your robes waterfall
scents of fate
i swoon to your call
your feet a pool
of blossoms fresh
you stand cool
fade the blazing mesh
gift of you breathing
i see clear
no doubt of us meeting
you are always near
subtle exchange
secret you know
grateful and ashamed
guide my soul
all i want to do
desire to share
sing about you
in the open air
your devotees
sincere
frees
what is real
my trellis
lifeline
bliss
soul shine
Prabhupada
i'm your child
in a candy store
i want to sing hare krishna wild
serving loving sharing you more
i want to share you with the world
Srila Prabhupada
Your Divine Grace
you are my link
your feet, your form, your voice, your face
you are why my heart can sing
