Kartik Sonnet #2

As the month of Kartik continues, here is another beautiful Kartik sonnet by Ananda Vrindavan Devi Dasi.----Of lamps and lights this month is all too goodIt helps an eager traveler on their wayLean in, it calls, to those who think they couldTake shelter with a song and verse to prayThe daring know to practice what we preachOur lives we need to make a better changeTo turn within all that we love to teachAnd gain a sense of Krishna within rangeThis kartik month opens the curtains wideUpon the scene in Vraja’s village trueIt shares a glimpse of what the Lord can’t hideThe power of love and what such love can do    Lean in to hold the chance to listen well    And hear the stories Vrindavan has to tell
