Newton Ranaweera Poet Rhyme

Just One Claim

Rivers run, 
        It is fun,

Not reverse. 
        Like lovers,

Ahead, they
        Run – all day,

Murmuring – 
        Whispering

To sun and 
        Moon, and land

On their gains
        When it rains.

Bemoaning,
        Bewailing,

Along, they 
        Run – their way

Just to see
        And to be

With the sea
        Feeling free,

Where life ends,
        With no bends –

With one name,
        And one claim.
