Where Music Sings

Dr. A. Chittaranjan sahay

Where music sings, youth dances,
And art breathes an unfading beauty
Casting a quiet spell
On the serene landscape,
And nestles down in longing arms;
Where crisp air from the cedars
Braces up memories of a wondrous past;
Where in the lush valley of the mind
Dreams like children
Play hide and seek
In the cool shadow of a peepal tree;
My wayward id slips out
Of the clutches of the guardian ego,
Hovers alert in his winged body
In a spiral green
And perches curious on chosen twigs
To have a bite at a succulent apple
In the sweet hills of Srinagar;
–To nibble at a ripe guava
Of the seedless variety
In the fleshy gardens of Allahabad;
To suck greedy at a red leechi
In the juicy orchards of Muzaffarpur;
–To peck at a delicious Maida
In the joyous mango-groves
Of Jaynagar.
