Mellifluous

mellifluous and mesmerizing
a distant melody I hear...

melting my soul softly
with its mellow magic

a flute tune so soothing
sweet and symphonic
transcendental
awakening my spirit
moulding my dampen mind
into a clay diya
spreading love and light -
a light to the realization of
the meaning of my mundane existence
 
as I close my eyes and listen
to this mystic blissful tune
even the Gopis, peacocks, cows and birds
of my mind's mural art
that depicts His divine grandeur
seem to come back to life
and merge with His grace

my muse has lost its metaphors
to portray such a glorious moment
for, the merry chimes of metaphors
are now meek and muffled
hushed and muted
in that dulcet tune that wafts in the air

a distant melody I hear
mellifluous and mesmerizing...
