Recounting an episode from the life of one of the greatest characters in INDIAN MYTHOLOGY
On a calm and peaceful night,
The moon is shining bright -
He is beautiful!! He is round!
Vrindavan is silent - without a sound.
The silence is waiting -
'Tis expecting a sound
Any minute now, any second -
The end to its wait is bound.
Adding thrill to the wait,
Is a cool breeze blowing.
Even Yamuna seems to be waiting -
Sans a noise she is flowing!!
Waiting on the sands of the Yamuna
Is She who taught the world love.
With Her beautiful feet in the Yamuna,
Gazing at the stars is She now!
Flying slightly with the wind
Is Her thick black hair!
In front of Her, the Moon appears gloomy!!!
Oh God!! She is so fair!!
Who is it that stole the stars
To put them in her eyes?
Her beauty will last eternity
Though for others - time flies!!
A music so melodious
Comes in the wind floating by.
One can feel in the heart
Of that music, true love lie.
She turns around, She sees Him
With a hug is their greeting.
He silences his flute. And now
In the silence of the night,
They hear each other's heart beating!!
"Radha" His heart beats Her name
"Krishna" is the instant reply.
They are lost in each other's eyes!!
Since it is He who rules the world,
For them time never flies!!!
After some time - what seems like eternity
(For them - not more than a second)-
They come out of their trance.
He, again, begins playing His flute
She, overjoyed, begins to dance!!
His music spreads over Vrindavan
It weaves magic all around!!
The heart of Gopis takes a leap!
They rush towards the magic sound.
The Gopis see Radha-Krishna
Their envy turns them green!!
Krishna with Radha is a sight
They wish they never had seen!!
Krishna, not wanting to pain the Gopis,
Again, his magic he weaves -
With each Gopi, dances a Krishna!!
No heart any longer grieves!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody really knows the truth -
With His Radha He really lies!!
After thousands of years,
We still narrate their story:
Because true love never dies!!!
