The bends oft
Obscure the end
Yet go
I must
And like the river
Wend
Until the end
Is sure
Obscure the end

And like the river

The Reaching Sea
The questing sea
Reaches for me
Then for the sky
Reaches for me
Then for the sky
Not at all content
With her lowly lot
Seeks to climb the shore
Or sunders self
Evaporates
Obtains a cloudy high
Though just a mist (as liquid falls to Earth)
Flows back as river to the sea
Shadows in the Sky
Shadows in the sky
Where the sun
And the clouds
And the smoke
Interplay
Where the river
And the rails
Run in parallel
Display
Embers in the Sky
Embers in the sky
Fueled by the smoke
Of distant fire
Ignited by a dying sun
Fueled by the smoke
Of distant fire
Ignited by a dying sun

All the ways I’ve learned
To make my way in life
Unconsciously, they become habit
Forgetting the current running through it all
I remind myself
Stand on the shore
Breathe in the quiet
Observe the current
Rower on the Ganga
Flotilla at rest
On the quiet river
In the grey cool morning
On the quiet river
In the grey cool morning
A few boats rock
As tourists clamber aboard
Laughter and photographs
As my camera surveys the scene
One boat begins to move
Oars dipping, splashing
I find frame on the boat
Zooming out; zooming in
Click a few exposures
Fire, flowers and flow
In the moonlit night
Release flowers and fire
Into Ganga’s flow
Release flowers and fire
Into Ganga’s flow
For pilgrims and believers
A gift to Ganga, river goddess
Holy of holies
Source and purifier
Daughter and Mother
At Rishikesh
Where the Ganga
Leaves the mountains
Completing her journey
To womanhood
Where the Ganga
Leaves the mountains
Completing her journey
To womanhood
From the daughter
Roiling and playful
Down the narrow valleys
To the gentle, fertile
Fulsome matriarch
Mother of the plains
River Dreams
In a land made white
By winterfall
A river blue
Runs right through
By winterfall
A river blue
Runs right through
And carries dreams
From valleys high
They tumble down
Right by my side
And gather in
The pools below
So deep and cold
In eddies slow
Winter Dreaming
Revelling on Golden Dreams
Where languid winter river flows
Beneath soft flakes fluttering
Alighting like sweet Angel’s down
Upon needled bough and barren branch
Or cloak the water where it’s still
Where languid winter river flows
Beneath soft flakes fluttering
Alighting like sweet Angel’s down
Upon needled bough and barren branch
Or cloak the water where it’s still
