Poem for Jul 28



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, You are my best friends,
yet I am placed
as Your infinitesimal atom
at Your lotus feet.
The fortunate particles
pray to You
to pick them up
and place them
within the petals of Your lotus feet.
The unfortunate ones
turn away from You.
They return to the cycle
of birth and death.
I pray to You to place me
as Your loving servant
in devotional service.
I am grateful Radha-Govinda
reside with me in Viraha Bhavan.
