kartik

From full moon to full moon

We are bracketed in devotion

Devotion is what we want to deepen

In this month dedicated to Damodar

Damodar, the small child form of Krishna

Loved for his charm, grace, and winsome smiles

Smiles that stretch across miles and miles

Of hearts and minds and souls seeking grace

Grace that we may fulfill our heart’s desire for love

Grace that we may be filled with love from above

Above and beyond the patched up broken love

We hold onto in this world, love like weak tea

Tea we sip for want of something, knowing something better

Exists somewhere, sometime, someplace

Someplace that we can find deep within

In this sacred month of Kartik.
