Veervati - a [poem]

Veervati



Veervati looked only at God-
with all the love her heart could store.
and pined like one lovelorn,
like one with an unbearble passion torn.

towards her Lord ,
Towards her lover,
towards Him whom her heart would never seek enough-
and never would she care that people would scoff

for , for one who has been torn away from her master's bosom,
what was the world to her.
and till her master comes not to claim her-
what happiness does this world contain.

And when Kanha comes
In his embrace she will rest
And shed tears of joy
and dance in happy forgetfulness.
