River In Me

entry picture

I made few vain attempts to 

make friendship with a river.

I told a lot everyday 

sitting on the bank.

I thought there would be 

little ripples to communicate.

The river was calm more than before.

One day I got down into the river

and drenched my whole body.

That day I woke up at midnight.

Getting down from bed I felt

my feet touching water.

A chill wind was blowing.

I smiled and slept again bearing river 

in me.

To me, water is always emotion. When I read this I thought of detachment, to protect your feelings, to keep you safe from hurt, but no-one can live like that for long. We've all sat on the banks sometimes, to scared to get in, to feel the current, the power of it, but in the end, we all have to swim. Beautiful.
