Analysis of River Within Me
River Within Me
River within me is flowing with passion
It's intensely longing to meet Deep Ocean
Some say casually, it's flooded, basin isn't seen
Some wonder how could be my original basin
On the sensitive banks, nurtured delicate nursery
Thoughtful cattle graze on the side-land greenery
Stray dogs bark, reared horses neigh, lovable cows mow
Water birds are delighted to enjoy river's current flow
In the marshy area, green clusters of moss
Some fish jump high, brilliant their toss
Course of the river is upright and loyal
Be it upstream or downstream, feel is- royal
Water is crystal clear, mirror like perfection
Noble sun and moon see their own reflection
Emotional delightful flow goes ahead with alacrity
Puts life, in the surrounding nerves, with splendid vivacity.
