SOUL SYMPHONY

                                           
SOUL SYMPHONY
A temple bell rings,
A feathered wonder to a Babul clings,
A gust of wind knocks on the iron fence,
Like a wind chime in a forest dense.
The sunshine talks in a gentle note,
Setting the Neem leaves aglow.
A distant sound of an engine revving,
Falls on ears like odd drumbeats!
A moment’s break -
Somewhere near lingers a messenger in poise,
Unaware of its audience or any devise.
The flowers have withered and the grass dry
A yellow footed flap wing trots, camouflaged!
The sunshine ever conversant
The wind, its steady companion; soft at times and at times loud
 In the backdrop of clear skies and the cottony clouds
The wind rattles the thorny bushes
And like a percussion device it gushes.
To this tune the nature abides,
In rapture, a tiny heart glides.
All the sounds mine to see, with closed eyes
Listening to nature’s heartbeat, one lies.
One need not see the magic of hearts
When the soul dances in temporal ramparts
Aren’t we one?
The birds, the trees, the sand
The mighty sun and I
So I lay thinking, as the wind sings by.
