I am a river.
Let me be the rivulet
longing to meet
Another river; not the SEA
Playing hide and seek
with other tributaries
hopping joyously on grains and gravels,
harmonizing with pitapat,
hugging other watercourses,
outlining uneven terrains
and
lucid on half-baked murky days.
************************************************
Let me be a creek
flowing instinctively
acknowledging
RIVER has been remarkably feminine (In Indian mythology)
splashing womanish features
including the names Ganga, Kaveri.
***************************************************
Let me be the river
ripping apart
the fear of flowing
along the rough terrain,
and
this is how
I would learn to merge
my sweetness
with the
saltiness of the Sea.
Let me be the river, for now.
