Ganges Poems - Poems about Ganges


Where are the Rivers Gone?
Ponder highest wisdom, clear and deep The reverent eyes must see our coloured faces Floating on sliver flowing in rhythm The flashing water of life Where my own people live All my ancestors stay awake with its dark night. I’ve know rivers going home Ancient, hand holders I bathed in the Euphrates when I was young I heard the singing of the...
