The Cosmic Orchestra

With the break of dawning day, Feathered folks greet the world, In resonant notes of alluring songs, They fill the hearts with rapturous glee. Far or near a church bell sings, Vibrant notes of chiming verse, It floats around in rambling waves, Urging the world to wake and work. On fluttering wings the gentle breeze, Comes down, to tickle the tender leaves, Together do they sing and dance, In delightful chorus to thrill the hearts. Later sometime the falling rain, Sings a song in rhythmic notes, With rising strains and falling lilts, The music goes on high and low. Far away from mountain slopes, Flow down, narrow glistening streams, Spiralling over pebbles and rocks, They muse a melody so sweet to hear. As the setting Sun in Western sky, Paints the clouds in crimson shades, ‘The frayed nerves' stroll to the beach, To feast on the song of surging waves. When darkness spreads and wraps the earth, Beasts and birds - they together sing, The Grand Finale to the Great Concert, Played in league with the Cosmic Band. Music hides in every heart, Its celestial strains nourish the lives, Tune it right with prudent care, Lest it die in the cacophony of sounds.
