Trill Of The Notes (Heart Music) Poem by Vera Sidhwa

Notes hit my ear,
As the water smashed against the pier.
I started making a song out of them,
I couldn't even write.


The trill of these notes were beyond my grasp.



I walked along this beach,
I still couldn't these notes reach.
I started wondering
Where from where this song was emanating.

Then I heard the heart of a guitar,
A drum,
And an electric sitar,
And I kept mum.

Because I couldn't really hear them.
These instruments played in my brain.
Souls of talented ones,
Who I heard on the radio and concerts,
Played in my soul again and again.


This was heart music.
