India, a strange land of temples and elephant gods
where they give away food and eat from banana leaves
with their brown hands and anything left is fed to the cows
Assam women smiling behind their looms
Weave fairy tales into your dreams, sir
Look forward to a golden future!
Living king-size under a banyan tree
Living in Jaipur, Udaipur, Benares
Haveli courtyard, a little heaven, a paradise
Amazing Taj Mahal, amazing India!
Dusty roads of Rajasthan,
Hey, Jutti! I like your footwear, man
Holy Steps, Sufi Music
Every class, group and creed, respect their Bible,
Ji Namaste and Om Shanti
Golden Temple, Amritsar, houseboat in Srinagar
Yoga, karma, release from cares
taking Ganesha and morning prayers.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
