Thy Will Shall Prevail

Andante Andante

Inspired by the ABBA song of the same name from Mamma Mia, the movie.
Here’s the meaning of the word, which I had to look up –
anˈdante (MUSIC)
adverb & adjective : (especially as a direction) in a moderately slow tempo.
noun : a movement, passage, or composition marked to be performed andante.

Timeless, countless, no intervals

In every breath I take,
Some 4 seconds apart

In every beat of my heart,
About 75 times a minute

Inspired by one of Kālidāsa‘s (considered among Sanskrit’s greatest poets) most famous masterpieces, here’s my 21^st century English version, with creative license.

AVE HITCHKI*

This took off from a song I came across.Now traditional Indian folk music is not my everyday cup of tea, but there’s something about the tune that hooked me. The lyrics are about a lover who’s remembering and missing her man who’s gone off elsewhere in search of work.

• AVE HITCHKI – Hindi for “I’ve got the hiccups”.
  According to old folklore, hiccups occur when someone is thinking about you.
