The eternal song...

" Music is poetry in the air "

Music is a consummate experience...
An experience that gives a cherubic soul to the universe, unfettered wings to the mind,
an unbounded flight to imagination, unconditional love to the heart and an unparalleled charm and gaiety to life and to everything...

Music is like a sliver of the moon in the dark nights of your life.
And the moonlight pervaded my soul on one such night and overwhelmed the heart in such a manner that while penning the lyrics of " The Eternal Song ", all the sorrows seemed to have been muted forever by the infinite power of Music...

The clouds swayed in the moonlit night
Intoxicated by her music;
While the stars shone with all their might
On the face, so cherubic.

That the moon’s beauty paled before her’s
And she hid behind the mirthful haze;
So divine a song, made her wonder
So beautiful a mortal, made her gaze.

And the trees awoke from their slumber
Entranced by the melody, the winds did bring;
No nightingale, could they remember
Such music, to them, ever did sing.

And the waves rolled on and rocked the shores
Dancing to her melody;
As they for centuries, or even more
Had never felt this ecstasy.

And her rhapsody quelled the sailors’ fears
Stunned by the tides in that lyrical night;
Their joys unbounded, for land was near
Her music being their guiding light.

And I stood as if a spell was cast
On me and my fatigued mind;
For as long, as would the harmony last
No sorrow, my heart would ever find.
