Stream Through Tower
Stream through tower
Meandering like vagabond
Meandering like a stream
Stream carves its own course
Stream cuts deep gorges
Gorges like Grand-Canyon
Gorges are marvellous
Marvellous piece of music
Marvellous embroidery
Embroidery in golden thread
Embroidery on red velvet
Velvet soft and smooth skin
Velvet texture of Rose
Rose pink like her blushing cheeks
Rose water pool for queen
Queen so chivalrous
Queen with a tender heart
Heart rules mind in love
Heart is a quiver of emotions
Emotions make personality
Emotions weave relations
Relations balance our well-being
Relations bring solidarity
Solidarity brings cohesiveness
Solidarity builds society
Society gives culture and values
Society builds civilization
Civilization of ancient Greece
Civilization brings sophistication
Sophistication in rocket science
Sophistication in our qualities
Qualities by virtue of knowledge
Qualities of patience and courage
Courage to sacrifice
Courage to forgive
Forgive all sinners
Forgive thy enemies
Enemies attacked the castle
Enemies plotted to slay the king
King so benevolent
King patronised art
Art and literature
Art and architecture
Architecture of Taj Mahal
Architecture of leaning Pisa tower
Tower of church holds a huge clock
Tower has a big bell of bronze
Bronze
Clock!
