Sitar


A Kathakali performer as Krishna.
Wikipedia


Sitar

Wind rips the leaves
Sways the limbs
As damp clouds cup
Flashes of sunlight
Shadows and sun catching
Falling clusters dancing through
Alternating patterns

So much of the world is adrift
Turmoil tsunamis volcanic ash
Cholera war bedbugs crawl
Death moves over people
Like the shadows over the fall leaves
A Tornado scatters our debris
And overriding all

Sitar vibrates raga in the stream of life
Meditation unperturbed of Krishna
