Gautam Sen (Kolkata)
A Song of Respite
Amidst the dark tussles of life
my mind is in deep quest of
a melodic song of respite,
I need some fine-tuning once more.
This lone traveler wants some rest
for revival of zeal and zest.
Music deeply inspires my muse
and brings me soulful peace of mind.
It's a joyous meditation
with distinct mark of perfection
yet without any trace of stress;
serenity prevails upon
tranquility to transcend while
darkness surrenders to light.
Songs enter much deeper within,
closing my eyes I reach my mind
where a live recital of life
goes on as melodious harmony -
a wonderful song of respite;
an amazing spell surrounds me.
Rhythms bring me perfect balance
while I find my sound of music.
A song with its sonorous wings
fills me with splendor of solace.
I find my ongoing journey
towards the destiny glorified;
a renewed spirit inundates,
my enlightened soul takes rebirth
with vibes of rejuvenation.
