The Magic Flute...Poddar K...Friday Essentials/Song

Shuffled in dreams, played with the words
On an avenue of rain, by the sea, azure
Filled the echoing thoughts of rhyme, he's sure.



A mystical musician from India
An aroma from the purple garden
Flapped the poetic wings, riding indigo and sepia.



Admired the silence of a caged bird and blues,
Smiled with his wooden sword, danced with twilight
When the crescendo of silver played mute hues.

 

On a half-opened shy road, he fiddles
Stirred the brown pages of time, each night; noon
The curious sun stars and moon.



Celebrated this season with a buzzing mantra
With birds, beaches, blizzard in a circle
Held a magic flute, he sang, Ha! Life!

Fantastic Bhawana!

Your imagery captures the feeling a musician has while they are playing a beautiful melody. 'Ha! Life!' Yes, the spirit is moved by the notes into an airy sense of loving the sweetness of life.

This is my last response on this session of Gather. My wife will wake up soon and I must have the coffee ready.

I MUST check out Podar's music..and I think he is thrilled to have a beautiful poem as this written in his honor..
you are the generous spirit..
you are the patient gleaner shaking the basket and winnowing all the goodness from each one that you focus.

I am thinking of Mozart's masterpiece 'Magic Flute' and the 'Queen of the Night 'aria..
magnificent..as are you,BBBB!
sheila h. Jun 9, 2008, 2:16pm EDT
