The Holy River

Silently flows the riverHeld by the banksReaching out to the seaThrough lush green lands.Giving what it gathersFrom streams and rains.It meanders throughforests and farms.It shimmers and shinesIn a starlit sky.Exuberant in its fall,From the rocky high.Silently flows the riverAs people sing hymnsGiving off life andFulfilling their dreams©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
