Light grew less

We hear a body’s fall ,steeped in melody .The eyes fell in broken strings , their music lost in the winter of its time, in its nightfall.

The glass spread quickly in its stringing eyes.The big black eyes were strung to a fine song,the song of a lifetime, the flow of a generation.

The light grew less in his eyes.

The sound is now ashes, the eyes beads one counted for prayer.

(Tribute to Sitar maestro Ravi Shankar)
