Thankful for the Gift of Music

Music is my soul’s expression, 
a mirror of my deepest emotions
Its rhythm creates my mood 
Its crispness takes away solitude

Music is my unique art
It speaks to me through melodies of all sorts
Its energy refreshes my surroundings
By vibrating the cords of my heart

It is the sunshine to my voice
It’s a spiritual hobby of my choice
By spreading out its meditative harmony,
It transcends the boundaries of space and time 

What would I do without my music
I’m grateful for this divine gift 
So, I hum some soft notes
And create some delightful chimes for the nearby souls.

Hi Smita, I didn't know you are a singer! What kind of music is your passion? One of my deep interests is vocal Music - but I sing only Rabindrasangeet - I am sure, if not familiar, you have heard about it. Now I know, we have something very much in common. I created a You Tube channel, and sometimes post my recorded songs. Please let me know more about your music. Love ~ Mala

No kidding! I have created a YouTube Channel as well. I've taken lessons in Hindustani Classical music. I started the channel during the pandemic. I upload my recordings in Hindi, Marathi and English. I would love to visit your YouTube channel. Please send me the link. Here's mine: https://www.youtube.com/@smitakulkarni-youtube So good to hear from you Mala!
