Rajapur

The bells on her feet shook with each step 

The ghungroos brought life to her movements

As her hips swayed....


His hands touched the tabla, beating to the

Strum of the sitar... As the strings echoed -

His voice rose as he chanted...


The sarod chimed in with the bells on her feet...

Hands opened up in greeting

Arms extended to the sky

as the sound of the bansuri and sarangi lifted her


Streaks of light, glitter

Dances across her face - its hue shadows her ways

Plays along - mocking every movement...


The shift of her feet,

The sway of her hips,

The glide of her hands...


Sets the scene

In a trance - Music danced

The symphony of its creation


The sitar plays

The tabla beats

Ghungroo jingles

All tuned in to the hollow, yet piercing sound of

the bansuri and sarangi...


She drifts away to the echoes of the music

As winds blow the dessert sands...

Lost in her dance...
