The water Lily

In an evening walk by the river side

The water lily rapidly raised its head

A stormy wind was blowing in the rage

The glittering waves of water passed by.

The flower was flashing and outdoing one another

Switching and washing by the sun bath

It was uncommon jealousy of the snake

As if poisoned the turtles wrapped inside the flower

Having amazed I stood and startled motionless

What a joy I ever   wandered in the shadow of the river.

The river was so dark and severe to get  mixed

For everlasting the gestures of the golden stem,

Where the screaming snake did not know the consequence.

The glittering waves moved like never ending stars

The stars and planets being crazy

In the movement of the polestar to go upfront

Burning all day and night hereinafter for show.
