THE FLUTE BECKONS…

A melody, which I often hear,

From an unknown corner I know not where.

 

It fills me with a pleasure as strange & rare,

 Its echo I hear, ranting the strings of my heart.

 

This divine rhythm that beckons me,

From an unknown corner I know not where.

 

The lilting music captivating my senses,

Sure is from some idyllic flute.

 

A rhythm that gives me a reason to ponder,

From an unknown corner, I know not where.

 

The master of these scintillating tones

Why is he hustled as an unseen mystery?

 

Rendering tunes that mesmerize the soul

From an unknown corner, I know not where.

 

And slowly the song grows deeper and deeper

Entrenching me in an ethereal fantasy—holy and divine.

 

And suddenly I know that unknown corner so well,

For it is the core of my innocent soul.

 

This flute that beckons me is the ecclesial one

That is played by that eternal & divine flute-player-Lord Krishna!

 

Oh, immortal one, I feel your melody in the thumping of my heart

And in all the human abyss that surround me.

 

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,

Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare!
