For the time I live and for <br />the days on its count <br />remarkably, on a scenic ambience <br />I crave to harvest seven notes <br />from ocean of divine music, <br />to play on my seven stringed Veena* <br />my fingers move ascent and descent <br />on those seven strings <br />to pulsate melodic surprises <br /> <br />From seven notes on scales <br />low and high variants <br />I tug my fingers on strings <br />to formulate a mesmerizing <br />musical format <br />from the seven marvels and from <br />the seventy two fundamental <br />melodic modes I want to <br />compile a unique symphony. <br /> <br />White lotus petals hold my dreams <br />and a goddess* steers me <br />in a haven, I want to sit and <br />play my Veena to stimulate <br />divine music garnered from <br />knowledge of melodies–Sama Veda* <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To my dear reader friends, <br />*Veena - Carnatic Classical Music Instrument, (Indian classical music is of two forms Carnatic Classical and Hindustani) . Seven musical notes SRGMPDN or Sapthaswara. From seven notes seventy two Parent Ragas (melodic modes) are formatted and from these thousands of ragas originated to bestow life to compositions. In Hindu mythology Goddess Saraswathy plays Veena. Vedas are ancient Sanskrit literature- (oldest sacred texts of Hinduism) , layers of knowledge, in four parts. Sama Veda is knowledge of melodies...<br /><br />Rema Prasanaa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seven-strings/
