Listening to a raga in the garden with Lizzy ( of the culture and fun group ) and Terenaxo - the poem fits this raga so well :
Poem: Healing Voice by Terenaxo
So light, her voice would barely make to quiver
A spider's string and yet the stoutest shiver
And strain to hear her whisper like a river.
With melody surpassing words that speak
Yet fail to break the trance in which I seek
To stay within the closeness of her cheek.
The violin must envy, and surely so must birds,
The sweetness uttered by her cords through words,
Enchanted, I can swear an angel heard.
On hearing, unjust kings of lands repent,
while queens of scorn and wrath relent,
The war cries silenced, weaponed arms unbent.
She heals the world wherever she is sent.
Entangle me within her weave of tones
And there let me remain to call my home
Where distant echoes keep me not alone.
