India Dream


Brindavan,
I'm in Brindavan.
India again.

Now I remember
how much I wanted
to return.

My feet upon the
dark earth of India,
I breathe her.

A master in bright orange gown
walks toward me.
The dark hair and eyes.

We sit on the earth,
the earth of India.
He tells me,

"I am with you,
I am with you,"
his smile as big as

Brindavan skies,
centuries, and
ten thousand hearts.

The earth,
the shining earth of India.
My hands touch down.
