On Death of a Great Singer
when funeral fire consumed his mortal remains,
roaring flames burnt his bodily musical domains,
peering through the glass portal one could see fires lash,
every inch reduced to unrecognisable ash!!
For five decades his golden voice reigned the music world,
he entertained with perfection of tune, rhythm, scale,
he sang songs of love, divine praise, of sadness or tears,
generations have his lilting tunes in their ears!
when you hear golden voice recording coming through air,
a musical voice preserved with scientific care,
mystery presence when physical form is erased,
shows us how meaning of every life is value based!
like a crawling garden snail we leave a trail behind,
trails created by art, talents or by brilliant mind,
the physical dissolves in time’s relentless crusade,
so must leave legacies of good deeds before we fade!
