Memories Of A River. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

In the continuous flow through the valleys
Underneath of the man made bridges
Making histories of people, earth, and their life
The good river Thejaswini smiles
The memories of the past and people, culture
The good old days of innocent villagers
The beautiful riversides, coconut palms
Gracing cows of rare varieties of past
The poor sisters, mothers washing their clothes
River Thejaswini in your memories
The pure heart of joy in finding the fishes
Catching only for home needs by crooks
Your reflex of return flow from the Arabian sea
The cleaning and clearing process you undertook
River Thejaswini a remembrance of the past
The voyage of country boats carrying goods
The beautiful voice of songs of boat crews
A sweet memory in this world of city life
Still I love you my dear river Thejaswini.
