Radhe Krsna Radhe - 7 Poem by Umasree Raghunath

He was in a mood to play mischief,
And He wanted to do it right away,
He spotted His dear wives,
And decided to play a harmless trick,
He called them both to his side,
Cajoled them to sit close beside,
He took out his flute and placed it on his lips,
And with it flowed the most divine music,
The whole Universe became enchanted with his pure notes,
Rukmani and Satyabhama too were mesmerized by it,
Time perfectly stopped still for a few moments,
That's when He asked them both of His music,
They fell short of words praising the Master Flutist,
The milkmaid Radha was in the nearby river bank,
And She too happened to hear the music,
While the rest of the world was blissfully enchanted,
She went about doing Her work, as if it was nothing,
A friend of Hers, seeing Her nonchalant attitude,
Went to Her side and asked, 'Radha! Does not Krsna's music enchant you? '
What Radha said, was a grand message to the entire world,
She smiled and said, 'Krsna is a smart man indeed,
He fools and diverts the world with His melodious music,
But I prefer to listen to the breath of His and let alone His music',
The world and it's grandeur is a ploy to distract everyone,
But the One who is rooted in Him alone,
Has nothing more, to know nothing more...
