A distant dream woke me up
While resting in eternal bed
A call to revisit the world once
Where I got a River’s history created
Long ago I would say
Like a fairy tale it has been
Breathing in the fresh breeze
When I was an earthen king
Swam across the sea coast
I reached the burning sand
The heat melted my feet
As I faced the timeless Sun
A curse I remember spilling out
As my toes used to touch the heated rocks
Now it feels like a mother’s wrath
A bliss as the child evolves
I walked towards the marshy fields
Saw the old green patches
Remember the children hanging from trees
And running through the wet grasses
Saw the golden grains waving as old
Smiled the peasants to their faithful friend
Women carrying my water in pots
Their lives’ thirst I quenched
A few more steps I took
Surprised! I have reached a waterfall
Oh! My ancient brain mistook
It is a dam as the urbanites call
I looked at myself with wide eyes
How urbanism got me tied
The one who feeds mankind
The one who is nature’s beloved
I carried on along my rich banks
Saw a potter making his craft with my bliss
A fisherman with his booty filled
Boats sail in my arms unleashed
The climb goes on to the foothills
I bumped on the crowded pebbles
The Olympic jump I gave once
Not recorded in Guinness’s tables
I started running through the evergreens
Saw the wilds bathing in me
The marine life dance in thanksgiving
Their life giver I have been
Further I walked up
And was turning glacial white
Shivering in the mountain winds
Here starts my icy flight
I carried on my upward journey
The mortals seemed to fade
The monks & alpine welcomed me
In a world away from life & dead
At last I reached the finesse
Came to an end my life’s marathon
In the lap of the snowy giant
Mother’s womb from where I was awaken
The wise call it knowledge & philosophy
Breathe taking journey to be achieved
Emotions & learning’s gaining all the way
Making all the way vivid
But as I made my return journey
I felt an ocean’s difference
Nothing to be kept in store for after-life
A walk of delights & endurance
No mortal learning helps immortality
No worldly experience as well
Life is for few words of prayer
And moments in search of the grail
All journey, all lessons
Go for waste if not known
Who we came from & whom we will go to
Whom we have in us sown
