[A poem by Mr. Samudrala Harikrishna titled ‘The Celestial Theatre’.]
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]s if –
The brandishing of shiny Royal swords
The clashing of two Arrogant warriors
The sparkle of ideas in a Brilliant mind
The dazzle of an acoustic Genius at work!
As if –
The slithering away of the Pearl-decked
The beats to a Danseuse’s nimble feet
The divine revelation in an Evolved mind
The soundy fervour of River joining the Sea!
As if –
The charming quarrel of a Couple sprightly
The tantrums aplenty of the sulking Beauty
The faked burst of anger of the Doting He
The happy Re-Union of the two, Never angry!
As if –
The lissom steps on the Serpent’s Head
The roaring applause to Krishna’s dance
The bewitching smile of the hoary Lord
The dark fears of the Usurper’s wives!
