Your passing touch is like the intoxicating fragrance of a Champa flower. You cause my heart to sing along to the sweet sounding rhythm of ankle bells.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep my little baby.
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little horses.
Black and bays, dapples, grays,
Coach and six white horses.
African American lullaby

by Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna
Krishna, you are like the ocean of rising and falling waves, rhythmically surging and swelling. You personify the beauty and richness of all the world's sound. I am offering you this garland of ragas (melody) and talas (rhythm).

Like the young leaves of the bodhi tree shaking slowly in the wind, Buddha's mother quietly cries as she remembers the previous lives of her son.

Oh Watch The Stars

Oh watch the stars, see how they run
Oh watch the stars, see how they run
Oh the stars run down at the setting of that sun
Oh watch the stars, see how they run.
Oh see the moon, see how it glows
Oh see the moon, see how it glows
Oh the moon glows at the setting of the sun
Oh see the moon, see how it glows
Oh feel the wind, feel how it blows
Oh feel the wind, feel how it blows
Oh the wind blows at the setting of sun
Oh feel the wind, feel how it blows
