The soul of nightingale
The soul of nightingale
****
The life, sincerely subdued
To the exciting song of nightingale
Through the painful nights,
And in the distress of moments
Its sorrow, fixed in joy and bliss
In the meaning mesmerizing;
The song, concerted in the wilderness
Providing its life, to the trivial inertia
Filling its tone, to the taciturn minds
And yet, while dying with mortal life
Applying its immortal tenor, to the nights
Sharing its love to many, from plain heart;
Of tonight, missing the fine raga…
The aching soul, heavily burdened
Hiding itself, in the alcove of the life
With feelings, blocking the wild thoughts
And thoughts, thinking of the serenity
Refusing, to enjoy the cheerfulness
Of memories, of syrupy song; insignificant;
The amateur poem, the lively picturesque
Freedom into perfection, chanting Vedic hymn
To enliven the nightingale, to the ecstasy
Allowing it to dwell, in the incessant nights
With its music of right, restored to life
That the wild nights, cause to be the softness;
Even the cherubs depressed of tedious heaven
Crying, for resurrection of the song of power
To cherish their existence, in accurate divinity
While the miracles astonished, of the miracle
Of resurrection of melody, cleansing the malady;
The pain in the heart, adapting the rhythm
To its veins, singing the obituary to the love
Sweetening the night, in divine dream of life
Keeping the melody in experienced peace,
Breathing the consistent nights of nightingale
To feel the nightingale, under the warm chest;
The life, successful at its sweet and sacred death
Still, bestowing its curing to the community
And yet, at the point of receding into silence
Giving its fractional vigor, to the abundance,
In the form of nectar, spewed by the sky
