As I stand and adore this land
Where the mighty sea meets the sand
Where winds strong kiss the sea
And create waves and let them free
Where the sea does endlessly try
To quench the thirst of the lands dry
Wave after wave it tries in vain
Ages have passed, not an inch did it gain
I stand and absorb the nectar of delight
As I free my mind with the birds’ flight
Dive into an ocean where materials lose their meaning
And all that is left is emotion and joy unending
Waves of elation, sorrow and pain
Hit the rocks reduce them to grain
Demolishing the boulders of ignorance and fear
Creating sands of experience and wisdom clear
I feel the nature dancing around
Dancing in joy immesurable and unbound
Celebrating the creation, existance and destruction
Immersed in this cycle of joy sorrow and satisfaction
And now as I turn to a trail unknown
A path scary, now seems my own
Fearless with knowledge I advance
With elation in heart, madly do I dance…

Seems you have dervish inclinations Arindam 😉
Perhaps you’ll enjoy this youTube video.
BTW, why did you tag this with ‘Anoushka Shankar’ and ‘Sitar’?
I missed a connection somewhere.
August 7, 2013 at 10:16 am
Oh! the music is comped and played by Anoushka Shankar…
The primary instrument being played is the sitar…
And since the poem is inspired by the music, I tagged the words…

Probably I should have said “Natraj” rather than dervish.
A poem of mine. Parallel theme but very different flavour.

I am sad I couldn’t listen to the link you have included. You know the youtube ban thing here. But I really enjoyed the music in the words…..Love your words like ever again ! I guess I should call you the poet of nature 😉 You describe nature so beautifully…..Like it talks to you …So melodious and so beautiful !!

Youtube ban?
Never knew about that…
Dukhi hai?… Mere pas original track hai… Bhejoon?
And thanks for the complements…
😉
A poem talks to the reader only if he/she talks to it…
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder… you know?
August 7, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Yes it is banned here for some months…..Due to some religious problems !
Haan dukhi hun 😦 Bhej du but it should be an Mp3 link to it !
Oh yes but trust me your poems urge the reader to have a conversation ….. They let the readers feel what is inside the words…. You write so so lovely !

Just listened…..It is so soothing really beautiful ! Aik baar suna hai dosri baar rozun k baad sunun gi You know as it is considered bad listening music in Ramadan 😉
August 8, 2013 at 7:40 am
Never knew that too… I always thought music was all around us…
Anyways… Listen to the piece with the poem whenever you wish… And after that hopefully you will get an indication to the answer to the question you asked in my last poem… 😉
Eid Mubarak in advance! 🙂

Oh I was about to ask you where is that secret you were going to reveal 🙂 I never thought it is hidden in this poem…I will try to figure it out. Otherwise please tell me by yourself you know I am not a genius like you 🙂
August 8, 2013 at 6:22 pm
Secrets are best hidden… And the best part is the path to unravel the secret…
By the way… The music is a very integral part of the poem… So immerse yourself in the music and then read the poem 😉
Main tere interpretation ka intezar karoonga… Agar problem ho to Ramadan ke baad padh lena…
😉
Best of luck for the quest!
August 8, 2013 at 5:40 pm
