Life Is a River
"We flow like rivers through innumerable birth and rebirth until we achieve salvation" by Author
River of my life, flowing incessantly since it left the sea...
Initially I thought I will chalk out the route only to realise i must follow the path laid out by wind and terrains
Sometimes the roads are smooth and easy but many times there are obstacles to be surmounted
I trudge alone weary and tired desperately needing a rest but I must go on until I reach the ocean
People hurl garage on me. I started out clean, now I am dirty, polluted.
At times I lash out in anger through flood and tsunami, they get scared and stop for a while only to start again.
I have no choice but to endure it all.
Terrain is rough and hard, people around insensitive and selfish but I must go on for I have to reach the ocean
Until then I cannot rest
Often benevolent God takes me up and sends me back pure and clean.
Once down the whole process starts all over again.
I trudge alone along the winding up and downs of life without a pause for I am destined to move on until I reach the ocean.
