JANGLY SOUL

A jangly song plays on stage

A fire is burns within

With each beat

My hear thumps

Desires

Craving

Restlessness

Engulfed by the smoke of illusion

Lost to the vices

Can ashes of the soul remain?   

NIGHTINGALE

The nightingale sings!

The heart rejoices!

No thought

No feelings

No qualia

No consciousness

Just a magical moment! 

LINGERING MUSIC

The strings of my harp are broken

The drummers are nowhere to be found

The singers have all run away

But tell me oh Mind! 

Just sitting in silence by the cold stone wall

Why does music still linger in my ears ?  

MUSICAL FOUNTAIN

Within the silent wilderness of the lonesome mind

Beyond the mountains of words, and the deserts of ideas

There is an ethereal oasis with a musical fountain!

                                            

A musical fountain of everlasting love!

As my drought struck soul, drinks from this heavenly fountain of musical love

 Music fills my heart, and my soul overflows with love

And the love transforms my menial existence!

Yet, overwhelmed by the divinity of the  music; I cannot sing it‘s symphony!

 My lips, cannot but tremble in humility; though my heart beats to its tune

My ideas collapse, as I grapple to fathom its limitless expanse

My words crumble to its  meaning and  magnificence

My soul glows in the light of love and music; yet, I am so helpless!

Oh Musical fountain of everlasting love!

How do I sing your sacred symphony?
