69. My Krishna is not black

```

My Krishna is not black,

He is pure gold.

He Himself is woven

Into the universal Beauty, Light and Splendour.

He looks dark

Because I have spilled the ink

Of my mind on Him.

Otherwise, my Beloved is All-Light.

He created Light and darkness,

He is within and without the Cosmos vast.

With this knowledge,

I will have a new acquaintance

With the world at large.
