BIJAYANANDA MISHRA

 

RHYTHM

The moon shines bright at the night,

Full moon to crescent everyday sight,

The sun is pink in the morning crimson sky,

At noon white, the sun turns red in the dusk,

The sky is blue in the day in color east or west,

The night is a dark sky with stars moon is best,

The sky changes colorful clothes at the interval,

Sun or moon teases beholder circle or oval,

The blinking of stars moon play hide n seek,

Clouds sail in night luminous shadows a trick,

In the day sun plays with clouds bright or pale,

When rains come sun hide or rainbows well,

The colors of rainbows like the music of sound,

Sound vibrations in tune rainbow look round,

The flute Krishna plays, calls beloved by name,

The tune is divine music, organs drums same,

Eight root tunes of music combine as spectral,

The dancer in tune to music spectators enthrall,

Coconut leaves pattern palm leaves tall,

Tiger in stripes zebra copy watch a catcall,

The horse runs in jumps so do monkey nice,

Deer runs in hops cheetah strike suffice,

Fish swims in water stark moves steady,

Dolphin rocket to air birds to dive ready,

Hawk flies in a circle so are eagle alert,

Sea birds fly as a cloud descends in the block,

The pattern of continental migratory birds,

Penguin colony pigeons stroll in boulevards,

The color pattern of wings so as a butterfly,

Splashing color in spread nature beautify,

Amazing beauty is peacock dance in color rings,

A profusion of color spread flowers in springs,

In the breeze ripe rice fields dance in waves,

Waves in lakes, rivers, sea beach blame,

Humans mimic the creator, nature’s splendor,

Music, song, classic, dance plunder,

Dress, costumes, ornaments home,

All follow the pattern of color spread won,

Temple, church, minarets, domes copy,

Outer walls in the embroidery of stones,

Inner walls roof in a picturesque pattern,

Dancers steps to music, bodyline singing,

The ringing bells of the temple, church evening,

The songs of the boatman, folks allure,

The nightingale, cuckoo sings in summer,

Tunes mesmerize the human heart clear,

The steps pulsating so the body expressive,

Rhythm explicit or implicit capture impressive,

Color pattern in light, picture, digital cool,

So pervasive conspicuous in digital creation,

Radio waves, telecast, cyberspace in the pattern,

Heart bit, pulse, breathing in cycle waveform,

Birth to death, growth similar to transform,

Animal four limbs insect multimode crawl,

Bipedal stand vertical penguin says tall,

Birds have two wings angels have the same,

The mind has wings of fire, pattern lost in shame,

Fingerprint, retina pattern is unique,

New age write blood cell break up a pique,

The pattern is micro-cellular, script transcends,

Generation to next one character replicates,

Meditation, prayer, loving heart rhythmic a feel,

Divine creation in love, cosmic to life,

Incredible rhythm sweet to all,

The core is in goldenseal.
