On the Banks of Ganges

In the lap of holy Ganges
Mystic waves crawled upon him
Ripples of love embraced and   
Divine showers Ganges wet his cheeks.

Saw him in reflections of depth
Blurred it away by blowing breeze 
Hymns of nearby ramparts,
Echoed off and reverberated like holy smoke.

When moonlight lit the lamp.
Last shadows filled emptiness 
Then saints preached "Death
As eternal stretches of life".
