[A poem by Mr. Samudrala Harikrishna titled ‘Eternal Bond’.]
The River, Ever the Sea-pining!
Nursing in its bosom no other Craving!√√
No hurdle game to stop the doughty
A race launched by a natural Naughty!√√
Crossing lands of many a hue
Eyes wide-open,with a dream to Pursue!√√
Thorny bushes, densely Forests
None deter,a lover on her life’s only Quest!√√
A mound here,a deep ravine there
Meeting all with glee,has no time to spare!√√
No looking back,no second thoughts
Redrawing an Oceanic path,joining all Dots!√√
Loss of Identity, it bothers not a minute
The taste of the merger ahead,so very Sweet√√
“Am I losing myself?!”, It cares Not
It’s a holy pilgrimage, buoying up her Heart!√√
She slithers, leaps,meanders,all in joy
Her man waiting atop a tidal pedestal, Ahoy!√√
Lo,they are One,the cheers loud yet silent
A lovely saga of Yore, yet fragrant as a nascent!√√
