A Song about a song

The song bloomed in the air
The leaves listen the rhythm
The song born yesterday
The breeze bought it today
This song sings unheard melodies
The souls who don’t listen music are now listening


There are many songs like waves
   But few stays on the shore
With the help of lyrics as sea, songs as waves
I would like to ashore myself
As it is my long goal


The cloud comes from that sea
It gives the rain with music
It is a rainy season in my mind
When Trees blossom poems


That is the time when..
 future is near the gain


In the morning the poobalam* is heard
It promises the sadness will go away
Even if we live in darkness, It says..
the sun will shine on nights

That is the time when..
The future is near the gain


The song bloomed in the air
The leaves listen the rhythm
The song born yesterday
The breeze bought it today

*Poobalam - A raaga (typical scale) in south indian
classical music specifically sung on mornings.
