Brindhavan Night

Bridhavan Night
at the edge of a city
where some stray cattle roam
the darkness for a lover's sleep

where longing succumbs
to the playful strains
of an invisible flute

Brindhavan Night
in the pale light of a lantern
where dreams become the profiles
of some stray cattle, roaming
the darkness for a lover's sleep

where an invisible flautist
lips his breath along a melody
that no one else will hear

Brindhavan Night
when the stars drip butter
into the shade of trees
to sweeten a lover's sleep

when the moon laughs a little
tickled by the playful strains
of an invisible flute

Brindhavan Night
