Arjun wouldn't have held his Gandiva again

Had You not sang Your

Eternal song.

Draupadi would have crumbled to dust

Had you not told her

She was so much more than that.

Yudhisthir would have died of guilt

Had you not told him

That it was only human to err.

And Uddhava? He too needed

The second phase of your

Song.

Nobody, ever asked you, Krishna

If you were doing okay

Separated for so many years from your biological parents

Separated from your beloved

Separated from your foster parents

Separated from your first home.

Which is why

I have forever kept my arms open

For you to come cry,

Krishna.

For even Gods

Have hearts.

Immortal ones, certainly,

But hearts after all.
