The titillating music
Flowed melodiously
From somewhere far away
It reached my ears
That longed to hear
Some beautiful melody
It swung me from my reverie
Into which I had trailed
Unknowingly into lands unknown
There I grazed with my eyes
The receding, fading beauty of nature
That once bloomed
The little swallows
Snugly settled in their nests
Did not chirp
The warm wind blowing
Shook them off their sleep
Their tired wings flapped
But
They did not spring up and fly
The melodious music
No longer sounded so
The doleful murmur
Doused my sleeping spirit
And
Flurried my steps
There reposed on a slender branch
Sat a sprightly woodpecker
Drilling holes into the bark
To build a home
Its colorful plumes
Attracted my sight
As I drew towards this
Mesmerizing signal
Beckoning me to follow
The solitary silence of the night
Swerving exotically into yet another world
Of tranquil hope and benediction

Indian Periodical
Scintillating music
Coming as from nowhere
Wake me up
Otherwise plunged deeply
Into the now- changed
Barren nature
Bereft of usual beauty
Not liked by the bird
Sorrowful and gloomy
Entering its nest to rest
With no strength to fly further!
Power of silence
Packed with hope and blessing
Compares equally
With power of music in
Favorably impacting moods!
