The tunes took birth enrapturing listeners into a trance,
A melody so divine that elevated the spirit into a dance,
A hum so gentle in the gust of musical wind became,
A stupendous composition by an artist on his bow and four strings on a frame.
His soulful tunes made way into the musical world ashine,
To a growing audience enthralled by music so pure and divine,
A treat to the soul, the broken hearts and those locked in romance,
His tunes touched millions as this musical prodigy steadily gathered fans.
The music had reached its crescendo stirring the mortal world and heavens alike,
A journey that transcended in orchestral exuberance on a magical flight,
Suddenly the tunes faltered, the strings gone out of tune and the bow snapped,
Until all that was left was a deathly silence after this beautiful young soul was snatched.
The journey has come to a screeching halt,
The empty stage screaming silence echoing loud in the hearts of fans distraught,
The violin rests as magical fingers that caressed the strings up into heaven has gone,
But the blissful music that this musical legend left for us will always go on.
Good morning friends, this is a tribute to my favorite violinist, the late Balabaskar, who was snatched away from the mortal world in a freak accident. It was indeed a sad day for music. RIP Balabaskar.
You can listen to one of his best performance here
This was simply marvelous piece of poetry and yes such a great musician and life cut short. A great tribute to him, Pranitha
