Navanita Medhi
I have grown up looking at your beauty -
the majestic way, how you move.
When I could not walk
I saw you
from the cosy lap
of my father
and now
I walk besides you.
You are flowing since the time -
we do not know when.
I have seen you
in the foggy mornings,
in the hot summers,
in the misty evening.
Each time
you bear a different look -
yet
you are our very own
'Mahabahu'
The dignified way
how you move
from the east to the west
we are just in love with you.
When you are in spate
it seems you are angry
and
the smooth ride makes us feel
you are cool.
Continuously you are
in your journey.
Sometimes may be
you are happy
and
sometimes sad -
yet you are lively,
never stopping for rest.
You are flowing with the waters -
in your bosom
carrying the history
of the men on the banks.
