Fire and music

Fire

Trapped between them.

In their sheer passion

Heat that was inexplicable

The checkered paths

Full of ambiguous surrenders

And victims they were

To what seemed like a never ending bonanza of life

Was there poetry in grief?

They wondered

Was there rhythm in disbelief

They walked.

Was there a craft in design?

They created.

Surreal and blue

Like a sky tinged with ginger and lemon

Beautiful and difficult

To learn and conceive

They stood their ground

Effortless and patient

Till the turn of the century

Waited

For them to be liberated

In love..through music

Divine and pure.

For them

It never happened

It ended

Abruptly yet in harmony.

they stood their grounds,
effort killing them,
and patience exhausted.

heard mumma say,
"this too, shall pass."

and so it did.
abruptly, yet in harmony.
