At the Confluence and Beyond<\/h1>\n

by Haris Adhikari<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Much noise there is
\nwhen two sprightly streams
\nbump into each other, bringing forth
\nthe hidden color of water<\/p>\n

What do they churn out of themselves?
\nI wonder<\/p>\n

I wonder
\nwhat a spiritual ecstasy springs forth
\nfrom their acts of declining
\nhurls and hugs
\ninto an inebriated river
\nwith a slow
\nand serene motion!
\nI wonder<\/p>\n

I wonder
\nabout their deepening depths that leave
\ngreen reflections behind.<\/p>\n
