Lhapso 2004

No Woodstock this time around
No mountain top this time around
Gomba nonetheless
On a foothill right by a highway

No, not Nepal
But brings to you to such a place
where you feel like you are home
where everyone knows you and knows your name

Gombas we visit in Nepal
we know no names
but here in the US
they are KTD or OCD

Prayers were said
Friendships rekindled
New York City we don't care to remember
With fun and prayers, WE WERE (AT) HOME!

For those few hours
For that time with friends
what is life?
But to pray and have some fun!
