[ echoes of indian poetry -17 ]


Laali mere laal ki, jit dekhun tit laal,
Laali dekhan main gayi, main bhi ho gayi laal .. ~ kabir

i went to see red
the red of my beloved
RED IS EVERYWHERE
the red of my child , lord , love
has made me red too .. ~ kabir

[as per the devotional traditions of india the lord is worshipped as a 'child ' ~
' baal gopala '~ just one of his ' rupas ' or forms ]

you deal with yourself
when nothing is happening
BE THE BEGINNING
of something that could happen
you deal with yourself ..
