A special birthday poem, for Guru das
An intricate mosaic is Guru das ji
Experiences life footloose and fancy free
But a closer look reveals a tender heart
Moved by compassion, caring as an art.
You have known the highs and lows of human life
Rejected inherited values despite poverty’s strife
Sought to give a picture of a divine example
For Prabhupada’s grace you’ve received ample.
You chose not to take much of this dreary world
And to share glimpses of divinity so others may be healed
May you live a very long life for our heart’s sake
Until Krishna your soul will gently take.
But that, my friend, is a new beginning
Where every word is a song, every step dancing
To the sweet sound of Krishna’s flute
And be with Prabhupada again in a spiritual suit.
As Krishna expresses, something in the way She moves
Perhaps enlisted in service to Her servants, no higher Truths
Leave this place behind for the grateful dead
Goloka is for the living, let it be written, let it be said.
Happy 75th. Birthday, Guru das November 18, 2016
from your friend, Pusta Krishna das
