The affluence of joy
a nostalgia of the fondest memory
a fall where all leaves remain
a winter that isn’t cold
age cannot feel younger
amidst the unchanging spring
with every falling note
and drifting melody
Kalyani, the world has little beauty
Why keep all of it?

if singing kalyani transports me to a paradise yonder,
reading your ode to kalyani melted me to tears……
and yes i agree with you…..
why has she kept all of it?
p.s. pssst! i thought you spoke of kalyani, the raga, right?
