The photo was taken during BBC TV filming me at my house in
Preston, UK, for a documentary on my work on Musicology.
I am playing an Alto Flute in the picture.
In the dark days of intense pain,
I leaned on my first love.
I played the Flute when I felt
pain even by normal breathing.
I cried, smiled and laughed in
the ecstasy of the Music.
I weaved beautiful dreams in
my tunes in the Music.
I felt myself away from the pain
I was lost in Music.
I did not feel pain even with pain
of micro-fractures in my spine.
It was like magic a divine hand
That took away my pain
When I played the tunes with the
Music I had on my mind.
