Even after decades
When music touches my soul
I feel her alive
In the rhythm that resonates
I hear her sing
In the silence that surrounds
The melody croons
But in the dark audience
I feel
My mother wraps her arms
Around me
In a warm embrace
As though I was still
Safe in her womb!
In that moment of symphony
I cherish her
Deep within my heart
I enliven her
In the pools of my eyes
I see her smile
In the thin air
Only if I could touch her back
In the way she caresses my thoughts
When music touches my soul
I feel her alive
In the rhythm that resonates
I hear her sing
In the silence that surrounds
The melody croons
But in the dark audience
I feel
My mother wraps her arms
Around me
In a warm embrace
As though I was still
Safe in her womb!
In that moment of symphony
I cherish her
Deep within my heart
I enliven her
In the pools of my eyes
I see her smile
In the thin air
Only if I could touch her back
In the way she caresses my thoughts
Last night after attending a concert on Indian Cultural Music... I could feel my eyes fill with tears in the memory of my Ma (mother).... My Ma loved Indian Cultural Music and was an ardent learner... today after nearly two decades of her demise, whenever I attend such concerts, my heart melts and I feel she is there by my side.... Ma I miss you...more than my words could ever try to explain...
