Special Edition: Baijnath Gupta

Dr. Baijnath Gupta

The Ocean of Symphony

Wrap yourself in silence 

And be submerged in the pool 

Of the music of your soul

And hear blissfully the first lullaby 

That comes floating by.

Feel the ripples gathering in your heart

At the touch of a tight hug

Murmuring care and affection as they rise to your ears.

Cherish the rose still red, though dry, between the leaves

Bearing tender emotions, 

Their abiding melody

Flowing over the brim of your soul 

Making it eternally fragrant.

Perceive a pair of arms around your shoulders,

A promise singing of love and warmth 

In all weathers-

All bathing you in the vast ocean 

Of symphony rising from 

The feet of God.
