A River's Tale





Soothing warmth of the sun,
The prosaic ice feels, 
Relaxing, in peace, it gives way,
Giving birth to me,

Crystal clear water,
Bead by bead, droplet by droplet,
Forms me, brings me into existence,
As if emotions find an outlet,

As my heart grows,
And I mature in stature,
Force my way, I do across,
The elements of nature,



Across vast plains, I spread,
Over mountains I drop as a fall,
Erode rock to forge my path,
To answer my destiny's call,

Along this journey of mine,
Sustain life all around I do,
Nurture seeds to grow into trees,
And support existence I do too,

But all along this existence,
The only stanch intent of mine,
To meet the love of my life,
The ocean destined for me by time,

With this undying hope in my heart,
I overcome adversities with a smile,
Intense sun threatening to dry me up,
Dams and reservoirs, human efforts vile,

And then on the horizon I see,
The waves crashing, Oh, its my lover,
Gush along with unbridled passion,
To unite, to be one, me, the river!


PS: Thanks Kajal, for the wonderful subject and the beautiful images.  I don't know if I have done justice to the marvellous topic but you gave me a reason to try. :)
