A SONG FOR ALL
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.

This silent song is so melodious.....! A song for all which will 'make the cuckoo nostalgic' and 'its mute riches have no reverses'! ! A moderate sprinkle of fantasy and the visionary vista lend it a unique charm!
This is so beautiful! There is a song in everything, silent and can be heard! So well penned; D
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.
brilliant. heartfelt.
this song poem makes my day it is nice and neat good job sir
Dr. Nair- a very lovely thought is expressed here, that you hope for a song for all of mankind. I especially liked your last stanza. kate
A song is a beautiful poem of some sort. I like the use of this word for the words it represents. The 'song' word has been mechanical by sound, yet I like the clever use of poetic expression, and the way a song has been mentioned by your very telling.
Well done!
It seems like everyone here sing the same unsung song and heard it from within..beautifully penned.
A well written poem! So much meaning in a greatly detailed poem!

well written!
the more silent a song gets, the deeper its meaning will be... what a paradox yet true! thanks for sharing
