Gopi Pilgrim
What is a flower
Lest it can be enjoyed
I am capable of nothing
Only Baba is capable
The journey of a trillion miles
Is instantaneous realization but
I’m just a common gopi pilgrim
Aswirl within His Endless Heart
Swimming in His Endless Sea
Chrysanthemum
What is art
But a span of illusory time and space
In Existence
What is science
What are the consequences
Fumbling, bumbling and stumbling
With what took six hundred and thirty million years
Of worship at GOD’s Lotus Feet to make
Like an unstoppable engine
Like an imperceptible ripple in a clear lake
Like a silent proclamation
From the fire
In the heart of the Chrysanthemum
Like a ripple in a flood of love awake
In the shadow of your smile
Anthony Giammattei (Poet)
