MURMURING RIVER




MURMURING RIVER

*********************

 Murmuring river

Humming in her own mood

Swaggering, smiling 

Was flowing


I beckoned her to stop 

And interrupted

Why are you in such a haste

Where do you intend to go

Are you going 

To keep promise with someone


The river hesitated a bit

Shuddered and blushed

I aspire to meet sea

That is why

I am flowing


I warned her

Have you ever mused

Merging with sea

You will lose your individuality

Your sweetness

Spontaneity and sappiness


But that lovelorn river

Did not stop flowing

Lost her attribute of sweetness

Merged in hard water

Embracing the sea

And put an end to her synaphea

Her own sustenance.
