Fingers dance on the strings,
Melodious tunes begin to flow,
Sweet music soothes the ears,
Ah! Relaxation simply serene.
Life’s monotonous sans music,
Music, talent of the Divine
And language of the soul,
Bonds a person with God.
A communication beyond words…
Heals the deepest wound,
Intense emotions outpour gently
And feelings, so sensitive –
Like a tiny dew-drop
Glittering on a tender leaf.
