The Play Of The Swaras.


300px-Indiskt_That-2The 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.

A Joyful Remembrance


Searching for coins

while the mendicant holds the bowl

nothing to give.

Could have given

the notes instead of coins

the mind refuses.

Notes or coins

whatever it could be most

a joyful remembrance.

I have denied

both the notes and coins

be an  evil person.
