Lovely music, when did you come into my life?
Was it in
the form of a gentle rhythm
While still
in my mother’s womb?
or was it a little later?
I am told even as a little one
I would
crane my neck towards the radio
Playing melodious
film songs
Insist on
listening and cry if taken away from it!
In later
years I enjoyed listening
To you dear, in all your beautiful forms
Movies,
folk, western , devotional
Sadly no
formal exposure or training
to or in your form of classical music
Saving grace
was that those days,
Many, rather most film songs in India
Were based
on classical ragas!
Today, I
sing in the bathroom
to my heart’s
content
Can’t
imagine a world without sound or
Without you dear music!
I am after all in *NLP terms
what they
call predominantly “Auditory”
Would love it if, in my last days,
I got to listen
to you, oh music divine
Even as I
leave this world
And travel
to the other world...
Music! dear friend,
dear love
Thou has made
living in this world
bearable, worthwhile…
