The River calls Him Ocean,
But Ocean knows not the River,
When the River joins the Ocean,
Great Love plays in the  waves,
-Of Joy, Innumerable.
When they dissolve both,
Into one-another,
Their separate identities are lost,
Merged into the other,
And remains still there,
As the only Joy, that is but one.


When the Sun starts to scorch,
Becomes cruel and torch,
The waters reach the high,
As clouds cover-up the sky,
Flit, skid, run and fly.
Until tired and heavy,
Shower-down in a big bevy.


They reach the cliffs and the hills,
Trickle-down in from the tiny grills.


They become the rivulet and the River,
Meandering through into the woods,
Through valleys, meadows and ravines,
Villages, Cities, temples and shrines,


The River keeps going always, 
For ever,
And her  pilgrimage,
Ends never.
