Raga Mohanakalyani

The song was scintillating

went through the heart

leaving the mind in tranquillity

being sung with such fervour

that the raga Mohanakalyani descended

as an apparition  from heaven

a combination of two ragas

exciting the ears  that listened

enhancing the spirit that got mesmerised

as the rendition on the high scale

was a rhapsodical  delivery

blending of the two lovely ragas

one in the ascending scale

with one in the descending

raising the lovers of music to ecstasy

above all levels of human strain.
