Ecstasy
written by: Vidya Venkataramanan
A cold wind blew
Puffs of clouds,
Whirlpooling,
Into endless skies,
The whooshing
Rush of air,
Musical,
Coursing through
Shrubs,
Cascading,
The highs and lows,
A grand musical indeed!
No words
Or lyrics,
Follow these tunes,
Neither a connoisseur
Nor a tenor
Of music
Need you be.
The tantalizing tunes wash over you,
Engulf you
Excite you,
Lift you
To octaves of Bliss,
The universal notes
Embrace humanity
With no disparity!
From gross to sublime,
You can feel the climb,
Soaring on a high,
Till you know not
What is anymore!
For the Bliss
That comes to the fore,
Guides you inwards,
From where the tune
Began,
From the core of existence,
To all existence!
