Maand

The dawn of a bright new day; the approach of a dark night,
The twittering of the birds; the silence of the night,
The blue sky; the grey clouds
The smell of earth after rain; the dry crackling of the earth,
The colors of the rainbow; the streaks of lightning,
The soft patter of the drizzle; the rumble of thunder,
The flowering of a bud; the wilting of a flower,
The birth of a baby; the death of a loved one,
The caress of a lover; the glare of one who was loved,
Stepping into the marital home; leaving the maternal home,
The joy; and the sorrow

Is what I feel, as my mind, body and soul is engulfed in Maand.

It is intriguing how the mind perceives the nuances of ragam; it is intriguing how the nuances of the ragam affects the emotions! And it is intriguing how the same ragam evokes a myriad of feelings in the same person!
