A RIVER’S LIFE!
As I walked on the mighty glacier
that went on to create our majestic river…
its tightly bound ice now so hard!
I wondered if it knew
what it would soon metamorphose into?
As I ambled past the babbling brook
that leaped gently over the tiny pebbles…
its pure waters now clear as crystal!
I wondered if it knew
how much power it had sheathed within itself?
As I looked at the fast flowing river
that raced rapidly down the hills to the plains…
its whirlpools and eddies now so rough!
I wondered if it knew
what all it would soon sustain and nurture?
As I stood by the still waters of the wide river
that meandered slowly past the gullies and gorges…
its depths now teeming with fresh water fish!
I wondered if it knew
how its taste was soon going to change?
As I stared at the mudbanks of the creek
that was rich in sediments of salt and silt and sand…
its salinity now supporting mangroves!
I wondered if it knew
what further changes were in store for it?
As I gazed at the vast expanse of the ocean
that crashed in and rushed back endlessly…
its depths now supporting myriad forms of life!
I wondered if it knew
what had been its purpose in life?

A very deep thought, Appy, about the various seasons of our lives… and very nicely illustrated too! Agreed completely with what you are saying. Among other things, I hear you saying: “This too shall pass.” Warm Regards, Ghost

Just fantastic! Too good! Very nicely u have mingled life into the flow of river. I found it very appropriate in connection with my life. Really we don”t know what lies ahead in our life, how life will change its course tomorrow or how it will taste tomorrow. Perhaps nobody knows it beteer than me. Perhaps…………
Is there anyone who know the purpose of life?
Looks like the flowing waters have been frozen in your poetic words … well written.
That was a lovely bit of philosophy packaged in an even lovelier bit of imagery. Made for very nice picturising and thinking.
