Can'T Wait To Meet the Sea

Rushing down the mountains It jumps with glee Can’t wait to meet the sea Winds through the mountains Forests, valleys and greens Fishes and insects sail along Feeds Animals and Birds with joy Its color matches the sky Pure and virgin Rushes through the land of man Can’t wait to meet the sea Man calls it river Makes it flow like gutter The sky is polluted The river matches the sky Slows down the river Misused and abused Where is the sea? It hits upon a wall It leaps upon and peeps The other side, dry and barren Far away rests the sea Waits for the walls to open Feeds the parched lands with bliss Winds down the offered path Can it meet the sea?

I love the personalization of the river that you've done here Suresh. Who'da thought that the river would have such deep and wide emotions? Bliss, joy, urgency, patience and impatience, curiosity...a wonderful read giving a whole new perspective of the various ways Mother Nature shows up and expresses herself. Beautifully done.

What a very interesting question you post at the end of your poem, Suresh-- how sad indeed that we create these walls-- I like how this can also be a metaphor-- very compelling read, Suresh -- nikko :)

Suresh, we share a love for the sea and you described the exhilerating feeling it brings to us so well in this poem! Best wishes for a great holiday season, my friend. Maybe someday I'll see you on a beach if I ever get to the UK. Love, Carolyn
