Green TARA devotional poem by Fontain Riddle 

~With this kiss ~these words I pray ~Oh Tara who are we? Who are we? But Children playing in the Sands~ Building Castles ~With open Hands ~your Rainbows Fill up our dreams   ~I hear your song whispered in the breeze: you sing, "Sorrow fades in rain ~Vapor in the Sun ~Dance the Mandala ~Know I am the one ~To kiss the feather ~I who dare you to fly   ~open your heart ~take this tear ~take this star~ Remember it is TARA who will open your heart   ~Your bliss Is my treasure~"

With this kiss, these words I pray ~Om Tara Ami Om Tara Devi Om Tara Bodhisatva Om Tara Devi

(Sanscrit) Apne Su- Rown kay Jadu say Dun-nia May Amun ker-day Devi Tara

with your magic and song bring peace to our hearts, bring peace to the world
