As flow of cosmic creation She streamed down from sky Entangled in the web of icy locks Lovingly nestled mountain’s arms As she flows, her young heart Hopping, skipping and jumping Stone to Stone Some times in streams of unending games Sometime turning into falls
As she grew, in warm shadows of icy peaks She lingered in warm hugs, within watchful eyes Softly glowing in the warmth of love, Living, dreaming in laps of belongingness Yet, times moves on, on and on Slowly, she finds her way out of this intense hold Out in the open fields, and in gentle sway As icy peaks held themselves away She flowed on and on A life of exploring; Fields and bathing Ghats Temple bells; moving carts Bridges, bunds and floating mass
Vast as she is now, no one to hold Her, in his strength of love She lets loose fury of passion As aggressive as her body flows With lust; exploring, caressing and feeling Edge of crumbling earth In her entwined desires, needs With every erosion, feeding her devouring soul Banks don’t matter, not even the mountain Lost long away in past
At last sun sets down on another day Another life ends In vastness of ocean, No knowing; in nothingness Old River merged in the churns Of indifferent space and abysmal depths Unquenched desired and un-quitted love Mountains bleed tears, far away, alone A River song – A farewell
