The River Of Memories Poem by Jahan Zeb

The River Of Memories

Rating: 5.0


The flow of fresh water
Down the mountain
Like sprinkles from a fountain
Makes clouds of tiny drops
Spreading like shawl
Over the blades of crops
Cools the air in warm
Fevered brain gets calm
Form fork of rivers
The surface of its water
Reflection of our dream
Reminds me of race
Of childhood mimic fleets
Threw them
Ran with them
Cheering shouting, clapping
Swim fast.
Till it reached a whirl
Made them wet
Engulfed them
And were gone
And the one
Fought the waves hard. Won.
Our childhood innocent memories
Swim on the surface
Laughs loud
Echo with the sound of waves
Rebirth of our playful Youth.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Perhaps that is a stream rather than a mighty river. In fact a stream that comes out of a river near the school where I started my Education and goes through our village.

In the whirl of time's current, most of our memories get drowned! What swims to the shore is our childhood memories and they remain with us ever! This I think will be a deeper interpretation of the poem! A beautiful poem!
