"Offer your head to the Guru

[Gurjeet_Kaur]

I thought beauty was a picture on a fashion magazine,

That was before I opened my eyes to see what I had seen,

She sat in balance, her aura serene,

Her head covered in a blue turban the rest of her attire cream,

I could not help looking; her presence was divine,

The definition of beauty had changed in my mind,

Then a sharp reflection hit me in my eyes,

It was the steel dagger that she wore by her side,

Her face was radiant her eyes held truth

This was the meaning of beauty I needed no more proof,

Then she sang the most divine song,

I thought there was a limit to beauty, oh! How I was wrong,

Her voice pierced my heart like an arrow,

I felt my spirit rise to a hawk from a sparrow,

Her eyes were closed as she showered us with her grace,

She was like pure gold with no impurity to trace,

I started to cry as she sang some more,

She was the inspiration that beauty searched for,

Her energy had consumed me; I was unable to speak,

I wanted to lower my forehead upon her feet,

Then she finished her hymn with out acknowledging praise,

She was humble as dust I was amazed,

I was still glowing like hot coal fire,

I had been on a journey to a place much higher,

I did not feel worthy enough to talk to her,

But my conscience tempted me to dare,

I said, "dear sister your ways are so divine"

She said "my Guru's Amrit has cleansed my soul, the divinity is not

mine"

She said, " Dear brother this way could be yours to"

I said " how? What must I do"

She said "offer your head to the Guru and forever walk his path"

The vibration of her words caused a rumble in my heart,

I went h

ome that night and could not sleep,

I thought about the words of this sister and her belief,

She was beautiful, graceful and wore the make up of steel,

She was beyond the limits of this world her spirit was real.
