Still Sitting Poem by Budhashaya Behera

Still Sitting

Rating: 5.0


Still I am sitting to hear
My Lord's sweet call,
I am still thinking of my nephew,
He will of course come,
Then we will have lunch,
I have prepared fresh curd,
I have also cooked rice,
I am still hearing sweet flute.

The mustard field comes in screen,
Where my Lord has played yesterday,
I have said to behold the seeds,
He beholds this Earth,
Keeping soil in his hand,
He has shown me light of star,
My Lord is cute, my Lord is sweet,
He is my mustard flower.

Oh people of village of cowherds,
Have you seen grazing cattle in forest?
Have you seen son of my elder sister?
My nephew has not eaten anything,
I am worried, much worried,
I am his aunt Budhashaya,
I am still waiting for him.

Child Lord will definitely come to meet his aunt who is waiting with much patience and eagerness. Devotee is always taken care of by Lord Krishna. This poem is very heart touching and beautifully presented with much devotion.....10
