~Bhim Darshan Rokka~
Translation : Maya Watson
However close, close to you I come
that much more far, far I feel
what kind of journey is this? more distant even that death
miles from intimacy
where life begins
I am born endlessly
within the child within me.
When I see You
I always sing your song
always come to you
but you, approaching from afar
upon get closer
recognizing me become rippling
animated flow by so swiftly
and then reaching some distance,seem confused
wandering “why did I run?”searching some excuse to turn
when I see you
I feel I’d like to spend my life
running on your shore.
