A Lesson

A Lesson

P K Routray

At its initial run

a river swells in dimension

with tributaries’ contribution

And at its final run

before merging with an ocean

its distributaries syphon

water from it for the benefit of the creation

For a man, it is worth learning a lesson.

At the early part of life, the man should gather

and swell with the treasure like a river

to distribute them with the open heart

before becoming with the infinite a part.
