The Farewell Notes...

Do not sing the last song of the dusk,
For the heart still yearns for the unquenched thirst…
The tanpura strings clings to those forgotten notes
Come as we’ll care for the lost dreams…

The time still grasps the wall, rusted with the dust
Of ages – I see the clouds play between the skies
The dark window panes and few spider nets
Encircling each moment within each one…
Whilst the wooden chair shifts sides, slowly!

Two sides between the glasses – and the
River of hope flows from far corner into
The stream of thoughtful sound of the strings…

Momentous, yet crucial, as the musical notes
Flow from one stream to the other – building waves
Into each rhythmic senses, a perception of the swaying
Of the heart beats and the persuasion of the soul!

The lamp shimmers through the prism with the rising scales …
Do not leave the glass house with that false pride,
For I’ve not sung the last notes yet, for this moment
Is now to fathom and loosen the notes. My music
Feels the air, lest you not forget the bond that my
Notes have created in your thoughts and dreams….

For in mine and yours, the love of music flows
Slowly, steadily, pleasantly – the sweet notes
Sung to just you and me…

The farewell notes, written, torn, pieced; graced!
