The Taj Mahal

Have you had a wonderful train journey
to Agra, did you stand in front of the Taj Mahal
and hold hands with your loved one,
or scatter their ashes on the banks
of the Ganges?

The loving work of Emperor Shah Jahan,
a beautiful memorial tomb
for his favourite wife.

Did you go together
honeymoon or birthday,
did you find your new love and smile
do Laughing Club Yoga in the park
or at the Havele
say a few words in Hindi, Namaste,
have you walked into a palace?

Is there a bird stirring in your soul
in front of the monument to love
are you head over heels
for a cute indian girl?

Spiritually awakened, whispering
the first sound in the universe, om,
how beautiful

next stop the pyramids!
