Like The Flowing River

Like the flowing river which knows no barriers

Or, swirls no tide

For it keeps flowing far and into the wide;

Like the flowing river which knows no penance

Or, holds no shame

For it keeps enriching without seeking fame;

Like the flowing river which knows no boundaries

Or, deprives no clan

For the Niles and Ganges serves the same man;

Like the flowing river which knows no pain

Or, breeds no dearth

For with all His creation shares an equal mirth.

Like the flowing river, conceived to quench thy thirst

Yet, not thy desire

For the despondence soars, last breath into the pyre;

Like the flowing river, cleansed thy deed of sins

Yet, not in itself sinful

For her inception chastity, thy conscience remorseful.

Like the flowing river, thus my vision of Man,

For seeds of both sown in Kingdom – all His plan.
