* I Was Born By The River Poem by nimal dunuhinga
* I Was Born By The River
My scholar friend keeps his late Grandma's diary
And a certain page was highlighted in the color of yellow.
My old ferryman you never realized that how I deeply loved you?
Since in the cradle the word 'depth' I heard several occasions from my parents.
They always talk about the mysterious river's depth.
But I am grown up now and I understand the nagging life is more deeper than the river.
A hidden alligator in the river takes a soul away once in a way
And you disappeared without saying me Goodbye!
I murmur your everlasting song while sitting on my sick bed.
'This old vehicle stops at all railroad crossings
As I am really scared of painful death.'
* My humble dedication to Sam Cooke for quoting his wonderful song's title.

'This old vehicle stops at all railroad crossing' very nice!
Your poem reminds me of Hermann Hesse 's Siddhartha where the river teaches Siddhartha the meaning of life and death. Fantastic idea. Loved to cherish and muse over it.
Life starts from the water, says all saints, scientists, and scholors, thank you for sharing,10+
Evocative and revealing, somewhat of a memoir, progressing into the present. Worthy of its title, in my opinion.
To respect nature with the muse of your Birth. Thanks for sharing.
