Splendor On the Beach
We meditated on the
beach a little after
sunrise
dawn poured gold
over the ancient
pages of the
Bhagavad Gita
As David read from
that sacred text
seagulls paused
mid-air and sand
pipers
stood transfixed
pearls spilled from
his lips the
very ocean blue lips
of Lord Krishna
“Realize that which
pervades the
universe and
is indestructible;
no power can affect
this unchanging,
imperishable
reality”
“The body is mortal,
but He who dwells in
the body
is said to be
immortal and
immeasurable” ~
Bhagavad Gita
I too listened
enrapt, eager to
learn more
the Sea rushed
anxiously towards us
lapping at our feet
its pounding surf
resembling the
mighty five horse
drawn
Chariot of Sri
Vasudevaya
Just then...
Krishna Janardhana
blew His conch
rays of the morning
sun ignite a
brilliant halo
crowning His head
“This infinite joy
of union with the
Lord
is easily attained
by those who are
free from
the burden of
self-will and
established
within themselves.”
~Bhagavad Gita
