              THE GRAIN----DR.K.G.BALAKRISHNAN

              Every speck, the relevant
              The grass, the virus, the breath,
              A tear drop, a hum, a hush,
              A ray of hope, the tiniest!

              This banyan seed does speak
              The Actuality the strange;
              The Rishi is echoed
              In the feeblest note
              That breeze fluting to the Space;
              The instant paints to be the joule;
              The wink that thrills the whole!

              The mute breathing to be
              The un-mute spell, the Maya;
              The Nirguna to guna
              The Nirmama to mama
              The Nirakara to akara
              The beat the anitya!

               Knew the Saga the Rishi
               Chanted to the waves,
               To the bird singing
               To the moment blooming
               To the bee humming
               The Beethoven's
               Nth symphony!
