I am a river

The only way I can share my world

Is through what I have seen

Till I can still breathe. 

Until then:

Let me flow like a river

Through the valley of flowers.

Let me touch them

With my sacredness

And enjoy their sweet fragrances.

I want to feel my freedom

To the extent 

That no dam shall stand in my way.

I want to sway like that little girl

Who started dancing on my banks,

While I added the rhythm to her soulful dance form. 

I don't want to wash away 

Those small mud houses,

At least when I can touch and feel innocence 

Of those cute, little hands.

I enjoy their presence,

When they walk over me 

Splashing my water everywhere. 

I love it when I can reflect 

Their happy faces.

I have a camera hidden within me...

Hush! They don't know much about it. 

I want to fondle them and flow like a river

Waiting for their lively touch again!
