My mind was wandering that day in the garden
until You caught my attention.
The earth flowed with heavenly nectar
and You filled it with songs.
My heart was full of hopes of achieving
as I listened, thought deeply
and pondered the meaning of things.
But awareness came through the ringing of anklebells
and I entered my ista in meditation
it was the fulfilment of all my aspirations.
Upon Your graceful and undeserved arrival
only one language could be uttered.
In the holy place, I sank into deep meditation.
