Ode to the “Strings of Melody”

a poem by Uma Parthasarathy

Of strain
Is thy art
Yet you quiver
In full charm
Beneath a dainty touch
The wind, thy stage
Your rhythmic
Notes-
The little angels,
Who pirouette in the cosmos
Enchanting,
The caged mortal
(who)
Moulds with wings
To be lost
In thy magic
For eternity.
