Janmashtami prayer

Janmashtami prayer

With these tiny steps, enter my heart,
To steal it, O' charmer of charmers,

Let me glimpse the cosmos in You, enshrined,

Even as I learn to see You without and within,

Through the forest of my fears,
Lead me with your divine music,

In the moonlit clearings of Your joy,
Dance with me , to ecstasy , to bliss

Through my questions, my trepidations, my life,
Be my charioteer, my teacher, my guide,

Through my everyday illusion of trouble
Be my sustainer, to bear and comfort me,

Be my light, O' Krishna,
Lead me unto you.
