Who
gave letters its sound? Who gave unmeaningful letters a purpose? In vain I
create a prosaic poetry only to realize that everyone is merely every others’
dream.
Fickle
are the fingers of Fate that pour capricious tunes down the ears of her ardent listeners.
Just when she plays a melody soothing to the soul, there is a discord that
shatters the realm of peace. It leaves one to wonder if the music is a guile
leading one from a mirage of serenity into a deep trench of ugliness. Her music
brings many a soul together and yet she is complacent in striking the wrong
note when everything
seems perfect and in harmony.
But I do not want to judge her wrong. Her music undoubtedly has also the magical
power to heal all those gashes left by her. In no time, the Hurt move into an
easeful state, forgetting the loss, the laughter, the love, the pain and the
regrets…..And now, a flower has been plucked untimely and the fingers that
plucked it continue to play those deceptively uncanny tunes in a vain attempt
to assuage the pained soul. How I wish that my grasp had been a little more
firm, a little longer! Helpless stood we watching her slip into an abyss
unfathomable..
I realize with a pain unmatched that dreams and memories are
the only havens where one can breathe life back into those who have innocently
fallen a prey to the vile games of Fate.
I do not wish to forget the fragrance the little bloom spread during her
short visit to our garden. And so I write in vain believing against all odds
that I could bring her back to this cruel world for as long as words exist. I
thrive, therefore, to try and make her immortal by giving a form to my
thoughts. For the first time I fear failure.
So touching and true. It's a universal law. The music will continue through the performers left behind.
