A dream lets out a clarion call For a song for all - you and me. A song for all is sometimes not to be sung. It needs no singer nor any music. A song for all needs no listener either. It`s often heard from within.
A song for all is often silent As no torrents thereof transmounts the minds. A song for all sometimes cristalises into a mute babe. Then it cries for our care later. A silent wave of a song not sung Craves for an entry into our spirit stubborn.
The notes firm for a life time Make the song unsung a nightingale sweetly dumb. Your breath substantiates a life`s tale. If I miss to feel it, I miss to hear a song. Dear mortal enlightened, have a mind To breathe your song into my indifferences.
A song sung for ourselves for once Will make the cuckoo nostalgic ever, And she will come to our dwelling places To absorb the new notes unlearnt earlier. A song for all may be a dream, But its mute riches have no reverses.

A human ear can hear sounds from 20 cycles up to 20000 cycles. There are other sounds less than 20 cycles, which a dog or deer can hear or a snake can feel. Above 20000 cycles, it comes under ultra and supersonic sounds, which are fatal sounds. But as the poet says there are sounds, though silent, can be felt within ourselves. Take a sheet of paper and shake it. It gives a fluttering sound. The moving train or jet gives a lot of noise. How much sound the earth that rotates on its axis at the rate of 15 degrees per hour should make? But we don't hear them at all. God has made our ears in such way that we should hear those pleasant sounds only and not deadly sounds, so as to survive on this earth. Dinesah Nair's poem reflects the deeper sounds hidden within the hearts of a soul, which could be felt by that soul only. I like his idea very much. |
