A special birthday poem, for Guru das
An intricate mosaic is Guru das ji Experiences life footloose and fancy free But a closer look reveals a tender heart Moved by compassion, caring as an art. You have known the highs and lows of human life Rejected inherited values despite povertys strife Sought to give a picture of a divine example For Prabhupada's grace youve received ample. You chose not to take much of this dreary world And to share glimpses of divinity so others may be healed May you live a very long life for our hearts sake Until Krishna your soul will gently take. But that, my friend, is a new beginning Where every word is a song, every step dancing To the sweet sound of Krishnas flute And be with Prabhupada again in a spiritual suit. As Krishna expresses, something in the way She moves Perhaps enlisted in service to Her servants, no higher Truths Leave this place behind for the grateful dead Goloka is for the living, let it be written, let it be said. Happy 75th. Birthday, Guru das November 18, 2016 from your friend, Pusta Krishna das
