The Symphony of Our Soul
By Veerashetty Aurad
In the quiet of dawn,
a single note drifts through the open window—
soft as memory, sure as breath.
It finds the pulse beneath my ribs,
a rhythm older than words.
Somewhere, another heart beats the same measure—
two lives, one unseen song.
The wind hums against the eaves,
the kettle joins in,
a bird rehearses joy outside my room.
Every sound, a thread—
woven into a tapestry of light.
Call it music, call it prayer,
call it the soul remembering itself.
