To The Beat Of The River Water Poem by Mantrana Mahi Agarwal

The sweet rhythm of the river

Can be heard even by the boater

Over the strong beats of the tabla

And the melody of the flute



The soft bells jingles

as the marketers start to mingle

And the fire is lit by a lamp

Which burns brighter than the sun



I tie up the last knots of my as first beats are given by the tabla

Doing my special namaskara

I start dancing to the beat of the river water

Wanting to cool down my heart's desire
