THE RIVER AND LIFE

 

THE RIVER AND LIFE

 

The ocean extends, horizon to horizon,

Bottomless depth, inhabit life motion,

Oyster rejects salt, drinks rainwater

Humans depend upon natural water (1)

 

The source of human life sustained well,

Fertile land, bumper harvest, and hail,

Food, water, cloth, and shelter to hire,

The civilization near the river inspires (2)

 

Centuries after customs, traditions stay,

Festivals and celebration love display,

Livelihood travel by boat carries goods,

Fishery desirable dishes enrich foods, (3)

 

Path of life, a sojourn in the river show,

Discovers the ocean, the path known,

Attracts waterfalls, rivulets join well,

Human life eventful thoughts dwell, (4)

 

The crystal clear water or white surf,

The colored pebbles paradise dwarf,

Life, picturesque personifies, dominates,

Like a river influence satisfies intimate, (5)

 

The verdant verdure mountain peak,

A river flows through a gorge, a creek

Infinite peace and happiness bewitch,

City lives, milling crowd noises switch, (6)

 

The flood and flurry of human anger,

Devastating lives witness the sufferer,

Critical factor for nourishing life well,

Dishearten a dry bed of a river quell, (7)

 

Arrival of rain, hope, revive, captivate,

The river and life coexist, confluence,

Timeless intimacy entwine influence,

Life resurrects, recognize her, intimate. (viii)

HYPNOTIZE DUST CLOUDS

 

HYPNOTIZE DUST CLOUDS

Closes the curtain of life Earth shows,
An evening orange sky quietly glows,
The sinking sun tired limbs soul wish,
Dream and achievement well cherish, (1)

Pervades darkness, stars twinkle, glow,
Profound peace and bliss heart know,
Penetrating silence diminishes chirping,
Among the mangrove cuckoo singing, (2)

Mural of rustic lives, cowherd return,
From the grazing field back home yearn,
A bell in the neck ringing, mesmerizes,
A dust cloud behind, hours surprise, (3)

Unknown thrill throbs a heart view,
The vigor prefers rest, dream renews,
Bountiful harvest granaries full, stay,
A gentle breeze, golden crops sway, (4)

The cowherd boy, his flute touching,
Magical moments display enriching,
The aromas of the thatched cottage,
Dinner for the peasant love assuage, (5)

The cows moo, milk, a calf dance,
Hope and aspiration play, enhanced,
Festivals celebration cow fascinate,
The source of a livelihood indicates (6)

Spring or an autumn phenomenon,
Dried straws, fallen leaves, emotion,
Dust settles quickly, wind devastates,
Tranquility or solitude promulgate, (7)

Obscure the village invisible at night,
Temple bells ringing, the lovely sight,
Thrilling story of the village life allure,
The beauty and serenity exist, appear. (viii)

A MORSEL OF FOOD

 

A MORSEL OF FOOD

Palatial mansion gold reserved,
Gadget, furniture all preserved,
Domestic servant, maids serve,
Thirst for popularity, heart love, (1)

Life walks on wealth and prosperity,
The body rejects food assiduity,
Tasty food or a variety of dishes,
Health does not permit misses (2)

Satisfaction pseudo impression,
Survival is a critical factor, a reason.
Fame and fortune exist in hunger,
Erroneous attempts, show anger, (3)

Fresh air, clean water, or nature,
Surprise, life disappears pleasure,
Life searches for food desperately,
Sleep and comfort follow lovely, (4)

Witness the elusive world envy,
Sumptuous meals feast in a privy,
Outside the barricade disparity,
A pair of eyes hunger for charity, (5)

A philanthropist distributes food,
A survival with water life brood,
Opportunities rarely happen, feel,
Denial of rightful life yet reveals, (6)

Observed orphans, octogenarians,
Rejected by society, a cruel man,
Orphanage or the shelter home,
Provision of food survives some (7)

Fertilizer, water, and light, a seed,
Foods for the tree grow indeed,
A morsel of food for life, human,
Survives, grows strength, he can. (viii)

TIMELESS TRADITIONS

 

TIMELESS TRADITIONS

Ephemeral life beliefs thrive, defy,

Customs and many practices diversify,

Stay human faith for a millennium,

Unfold the ageless story, die minimum, (1)

The saint and monks pray, melody,

Cremation and oblations to spirits,

Staircases of the ghat, picture lists, (2)

Flock of birds, boatmen, life hypnotic,

Ringing of bells from a temple hymn,

Different realm magnetic, or rhythm, (3)

The Ganges flows slowly; it displays,

Flows emotion, healing the malady,

Moisten and gentle breeze, parody, (4)

The legends survived well, intimate,

Crowded boats, the riverbank, dwell.

Ethereal feelings, imaginary prevails, (5)

 

Creeping thoughts civilization exists,

Primordial views worship evil resists,

Evil, self-doubt, suspicion overpower,

Pretentious mind illusory and cower, (6)

The bitter quarrel, society, raises a fright,

The Ganges has seen tumults clean,

Cleanse the ambiguity or peace win, (7)

 

The river of perpetual love bliss flows,

An enlightened heart perceives, knows,

Timeless traditions, faith, and beliefs,

A dip in the cold water is quite a relief. (viii)

Healing wounds consolations embalm, (6)

To grab by hook or crook, opportune,
Failure causes a distress disaster nearer,
Nature invites serene life, pacify, allure, (7)

Wings of desire soar high, an attitude,
Paradise is the reality unfolding soon,
Peace, bliss, and pleasure, the boon. (viii)

Immense struggle, persistent attempt,
Dream castle, imaginary, stay resilient,

Kisses the blue sky, clouds, cherishes,
The elevator staircase, several floors,

The boulevards, palm trees, and park,
The harbor of aspiration, a gold mark, (3)

Big bird hatch, fledge, chicks grows,

They fly to far-flung search destinations,
Petals and pollens cause pollination (6)

Professors teach an eagerness shield,
Workers, artisans, singers, and actors,
Security officers, fire service protects (7)

Laboriously, tirelessly collect a synergy,
The world fascinates, nature surprises. (viii)
