On Seeing Sai Baba on YouTube

Did you see him in his saffron robe

Walking slowly as they touched his feet,

An aura of freedom and a wealth of grace

As some Russian boys sang softly, sweet,

Oche Nash, a modern 'Lord's Prayer'.

I watched and then a peace came over me

And knew one day my faults would fall away

Embraced by love as an island by the sea.

What a marvel of our age YouTube is,

All the music of my youth is there,

Artistic beauty for all to see and hear

A temple built of song and often prayer.

Transcendent moments that draw the Godhead near.
