Feel The Presence Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Feel the presence 
Saturday,22nd September 2018

Music is everywhere 
in musical instruments and in nature
try to hear
with aptness, dear 

the music has its origin
and we have also seen 
it is glorifying omni-presence
and we feel real sense 

what do the water birds look at?
invite the rain to quench their thirst 
what a prayer in their urge!
we feel its depth from the bondage

the river flow makes sound
we feel it on the ground
happiness and calmness is always found 
we recreate it in the music and feel bound 

life is music too
the death brings sadness through
our helplessness in an outburst 
yet cooly express, in silence, the betrayal of the trust 

Hasmukh Amathalal Mehta
