In the buzz and din of daily existence
I have lost my music, I have lost my song;
In the rush and crush of scurrying crowding
They have gone and stolen away.
Gone is the dawn’s whispered melody,
Piano of morning, noonday’s violin,
Afternoon’s soothing tune on the flute,
Twilight’s tinkling bells.
Gone is the choir of evening
Cricket singing soprano;
Late night’s sound of silence
Is mute, muffled by city noise.
With all those voices grown dumb
I have lost my music, I have lost my song.

Beautiful and sad, and very touching... I can relate a lot.
Hope you find your song again.
We all lose our song sometimes - we just have to know where to find it.
(I find mine again usually next to the rum bottle. :D )
'Cricket singing soprano' liked this a lot..
So beautifully expressed. Till I read this, I didn't realize that I too have been slowly losing my songs (that's what great writing does - make you realize that you too have those same feelings but never realized you had them till they are pointed out to you). Though I find some of my lost songs, sometimes, near the 'Suntory', like Illusionaire ;)
@Ruolngulworld, realization is better than non, isn't it - though it's realizing one's loss. Good you're able to find it back, whatever way :)
@Gauri, thanks. Nothing like a full choir with all the parts for music, to me.
@Illusionaire, thanks, let's hope so. Rum bottle doesn't do me any good, though :)
Lovely poem! Hope you find your song and your music again! Don't lose this beautiful poem, though!
