My vigilant gaze scans
In every home, I see
A flurry of feet as they hurry down the streets.
Mango leaves tied on doors
Patterns of my feet drawn
The chatter of young ‘Krishna’ dressed up warms my core.
Oh! The grey clouds jealous
Cover my ‘birthday prep’
But the sweet aroma of ‘kheer’ wafting cheers me.
Lamps lit, my idol set
Prayers said at sundown,
Then I’m there to bless and slurp the butter gladly.
