the temple bells ringing

the incense sticks burning

many heads bowing

tears down my cheeks streaming

eyes closed

i stand in thoughts

of one who touches me invariably

of one who lifts my spirits

of one who lived,loved

teaching to love and live

the player boy

the endearing child

the man

the protector

and the destroyer

the king

the cowherd

the man of many hues

the man above every man

in the temple

dressed in chandan

adorned with tulsi leaves

the Lord blue

Sree Krishna

he who is everything

something to everyone
