The Beauty of Your Being...

Did you know, sir, that you have really beautiful eyes?
I wonder if anyone had told you that before
(you being a saint and all...would anyone have dared to?)
I admit I know very little of you,
But when I saw that pair of eyes,
And that calmest of smiles,
I couldn’t help falling for you
(in a spiritual way, of course).

What made you tilt your head that way, I wonder
What made you smile that way
(though your lips and eyes),
Was it the reflection of your compassion,
That you (at that moment) showered
On the one who was trying to capture you?

Or was it the enlightened knowing - that
that face, that body,
what are they really
(to be captured in a photograph)?
When what lies within,
(that soul which you know to be the real you)
Can never, any picture, describe...

Beautiful you are, my divine Ramana Maharshi,
I wonder if you knew that...
