Alongside the hill
River flew calm
Calm from within
Rain drops smidgen
Banged on rocks
Reviled invaders
Rain and river
Embraced on a mission
Traversed on mountains
Ocean the ultimate destination
Nameless merger
Selfless surrender
Green twigs of trees
Sobered sun burns
A dream or two evolved
With wings all around
Clouds set apart sunshine,
Fragmented sky on scales
Cattle graze on hillside
Forest not safe as it promises
Fear erupts but hunger begets
Survival a priority
Down there ocean
Wild from within
Waves cracked shore,
there no rhythm but roar
Sand spread on earth’s platter
A huge plateau spread around
Evening painted fusion on blue sky
Blows on the whisper of wind
Fragrance of new bloomed flowers
Night pleasing at times
Initiation a mystery
Abrupt conclusion a pain
Day and night in conflict
Compatriots in trouble
Even when the mission same
Submerge in universe
Sun shines for all
Seasons transient to endorse
Change is base
Change is scheme,
Change is structure
And change the only truth....
Origin unbiased
On the branch of truth
As the ultimate envoy
Struggled on hardships but
Eventually survived
This poem is really great as it expresses the whole reality of a being who lives in this world and lives for the ultimate which is the survival.

The poem is like a lovely tree - every line is a branch with its own ripe fruit or fresh leaves...
And change the only truth / Origin unbiased - a great truth of life indeed!
Deep, yet mellowed presentation. makes one read in a stretch. sathya narayana

Rain merges with river...river surrenders to ocean…ocean roars against rocks…despite danger lurking near, cattle continue to graze in forests…essential to survive…Good verbal images seen here… Sun shines without bias… change is truth…the only surviving truth perhaps… Very impressive…*10*
