When Played The Music. Poem by Bharati Nayak
When Played The Music.
Through the swinging branches and whistling reeds
A song of heart floated in breeze.
When a bird heard it,
She carried the music on her wings and
Flew away to her mate.
When a butterfly heard it,
He bore the tune in his colorful wings and
Darted through the garden
For theflowers
In gleeful blooms.
The fiery sun became cool and soft
As he scattered his rays of crimson red
On the cheeks of the damsel.
In deep sea, waves rose and fell
As a little closer.
his love-moon came.
When the river heard it,
She mixed the tune in her gurgling ripples.
As the whole universe danced in unison
With the scattering stars, Milky ways and galaxies.
When the river heard it! ! 😀🌍🧚♀️ Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Nature sing the pleasant music....... A charming to heart.... 10 +++++++ Naila
******* NOTE WELL: Bharati has hastily reminded me that it was NOT Dr. Antony Theodore who died recently. It was another PH friend of hers, Daniel Brick! ! ! ! RIP!
Their book is entitled In the Realms of Love & Divinity, which was sent to me as a gift by Bharati. Thanks, Bharati. : ) bri
Another 5-star poem. And this and many more from Bharati are included in a book of poems by Bharati and the late PH member, Dr. Antony Theodore.
'With the scattering stars, Milky ways and galaxies.' Well, the 'Milky Way' IS a 'gallaxy' AND includes 'stars', including Earth's own 'Sun'. bri ;) I've rarely noticed it in the sky. It's awesome.
stanza 2: I'll assume PH is responsible for 'theflowers', though, IF PH IS responsible, it's been a long time since PH used to do such a thing. Well poem is from 4 years ago. bri

The positive effect of the the music on each creature is differently shown, although they all heard the same music but reacted in their own joyous moments. Masterpiece.10+
