CHORD

CHORD

 

Mesmerized the Veena of life tunes,

Melodious scintillating tame fumes,

Seen hazardous life flute vibrant lit,

Poverty corrodes life, hunger defeats, (1)

 

Shrunken eyes noticed cried escort,

Death cruel vulture Lord's grace lot,

Lifted lives from sickbed, cured, sock,

No symptoms of ailments heal woke, (2)

 

Orphaned child at birth mother left,

Adopted by another flourished fate,

Diamond spoon mouth, child born,

Divorced parents desert child earn, (3)

 

The chord changes symphony alert,

Divine play flute seven notes divert,

The sadness cripples a mind, and tearful,

The Veena plays chords remindful, (4)

 

Life is not for pleasure, physically fit,

Life is for realization, discover light,

Light invisible energy breath flute,

Seven notes admixture yet dispute, (5)

 

Foolish human chord tames plant,

Chord attracts birds, animals, want,

Listen to frequencies contemplate,

Magic where musical chords relate, (6)

 

The Ganga Ghat dusk dilapidated,

Alone on the stone steps, I evaded,

The spine-chilling fears of loneliness,

Dark was the river clouded stress, (7)

 

Wet were steps after rain at the shore,

Waves of river Ganges high surfer,

Spraying moister evening depress,

By boatman floated into darkness, (viii)

 

Watched the shoreline, sat record,

Vast shoreline of Banaras offered,

River bank rock steps are sparse, dark,

Lighted at one place oblation stark, (9)

 

Offering oil-lit lamps hymns sound,

Pervading musical notes lots around,

Bewitching beauty distance evoked,

For millennia, human prays, stoked, (10)

 

The chord connects to human love,

Cold waters of the river dissolve,

The boat proceeded to Ghat was bright,

The pyre was burning no one, a sight, (11)

 

Sizzle at innermost heart flaming,

Ambers red hot charcoal glowing,

No one attends a life extinguished,

Cold wind cools burn pyre missed, (12)

 

The air at the boat distinct a note,

The chord of life rejected world denotes,

Abandoned children, life once begged,

Musical note flute boatman egged, (13)

 

Showed Banaras ghat lonely night,

There was delight, included fright,

Human hymn to life extinguished,

Chord of human life distinguished. (14)
