Twilight descends.

Sky blushes.

Seduced by Ravi’s beauty
I kneel.

Tears cascade.

I whisper:

“Thank you!
My Sovereign rests in you.”

Ravi replies:
“No, I rest in him.
I flow in him.
I was insignificant.
His coming made me noble.
Your tears are for him; not me.

“My banks are sanctified with your tears.
How blessed am I, that he chose me?

“No mansion can do justice,
To honour that moment.

“But hear, O! Devotee The Melody of Silence.
That is his Gift to the word and beyond.

“Wow be to the ones that say:
He perished!
Imperishable is Your Sovereign.

“Go in love and share his Song
For, it is the Eternal Love-Song.”

No More Blue Stars

In recent years, diasporic Sikhs have been moving to consciously avoid using the terms Operation Blue Star or Holocaust and instead use terms like the Battle of Amritsar, genocide, or Ghallughara when speaking about June and November 1984.
