silent veena

The veena is silent now,

Innumerable raagas that had come out of it 

Is now frozen to a silent melody.

 Music is always soulful

And the strains that came  out of

My patti,s veena were always beautiful

For, like her veena she was also beautiful

She walked in beauty like music.

 Every day we meet good ,bad or ugly people

It is very rarely that we come across beautiful people,

Always soothing always imparting

Joy to people around her

.A beautiful mind in a beautiful body-

And that was patti 

Beauty personified

Her deeds ,thoughts even the air round her was beautiful.

Miss her we all will 

But thoughts of her will always 

Bring to us a soothing ,caring feeling-

For that was what she was 

Soothing caring and beautiful

Like the notes that flowed out of her veena.
