It is written that the
color of Krishna
is like a monsoon cloud
dark bluish grey
like the heavy rains
gathering at the edge
of an unbearably hot day
or at the edge of an
unbearable time of our life
a low rumbling of cool relief
that we know is going to
change things
change us.
Monsoon Krishna
is known as Syamasundar
the beautiful Syama
the color of love, joy, hope
the color of mystery, movement, and depth
the color of life – rich, full, and ready to overflow
when the cloud bursts
upon us all.
Can we receive?
Can we hold?
Can we stand outside
our protective layers
trusting the goodness
of that dark cloud?
We need to let that happen.
We need to dance and sing
and be swept away
with joyful abandon
in the monsoon rains of Krishna’s love.
We need this weather, this rain. We need this love.
