Change

Is an inevitable phenomenon

Is it not?

It is

Quite an interesting law of nature.

Even the God's residence

Undergoes changes.

Haha,

Things even you

Simply can't control.

Which is why your Vrindavan

Is nothing like it used to be, Krishna.

The fragrant path

With blooms of all colours, seasons

You took to leave this place

Forever

Is now, nothing but a

Filthy, dusty lane.

Yet this place still

Sings your name.

Your flute hauntingly follows me

And echoes everywhere.

No one would ever

Take that transformed

Filthy, dirty lane.

So many changes

Such a distortion

Yet

I stare at it

Every day.

With those same dreamy eyes.

Your footprints

Are the most beautiful thing in the whole universe, Krishna.

Wonder what breeze could remove those?
