The Tenor Of Man. Poem by Ravi Panamanna

As he listens to the running brook,
He closes his eyes and the little book.
It lends a rich, melodious harmony
worth beyond all quotes and ceremony.

Upon the dales whispers the wind,
Upon the branches twitter umpteen wings.
He listens to the tales of the distant hills,
He is into the womb of a pregnant silence.

Life is not definitions, a set of rules,
Life is beyond purchases from shopping malls.
Remember, we are disciples, life, a teacher,
Let our tainted visions ever not us tether.
