The breeze plays a tune
could it be the seven swaras
I listen keenly to the notes
the start from the sadjamam
gradually picks up and pauses
as it reaches the middle kanthara
it blows with a sweep and stays
harping on the panchamam
it blows with a niraval
then slowly gains momentum
past the nishadam in a tune
touches the highest shadjamam
tends to play with a fervour
as it reverberates and resonates
lost myself in the flow
knew not when it subdued
went down in the notes
back to the lowest shadjamam
followed by a silence eternal.
