A tiny trickle from the melting snow,
A gush of water from the womb of earth
,A deafening fall from the mountain top,
Turning into a smooth soft flow of water.
**************************
Glistening in the sun in the golden mornings,
Reflecting moonbeams in the moon- lit nights
,Each star reflecting in my crystal clear waters,
Keep moving wherever my sweet will takes me.
*****************************
I leave behind verdant woods, life’s congregations,
Vast alluvial lands that have sustained generations,
With myriad species of crops I fill field and gardens,
My shores make history and develop civilisations .
*******************************
*My shores teem with life and all that’s beautious,
Beware! Yet I can be furious and dangerous,
Don’t have a misconception about your sins
,And don’t fill me up with all dirt and pollutants.
***********************
Slowly ,steadily I move to reach my object,
Inspiring every soul what they start to achieve
What you start once ,never you should leave ,
Even the tiniest step will take us to our target.
Beautiful imagery. You have beautifully portrayed the many-facetedness of a river. 💚💚
Thanks Moonmoon for liking
How well you’ve detailed the birth and progression of a River. I was wondering what the asterisk in the second last verse implied.
That’s most probably a carryover from the stanza break. 🙂
Alignment issues.
A typo , There is a comma too before a sentence.
Thanks Mumtaz for reading.
