One River

Original in Assames by Prapancha Boruah
Translated by Dr. Ratan Bhattacharjee

One river
For ever,in its torrential flow
Glittering in the golden sun
Bosom getting intumescent
Dreaming of spreading all around
the creative urge so long treasured in the heart
 

(2) Hope

The green yearnings of Shravana
germinated in the deeper bosom lie dormant.
Envisioning a new dawn.
Will set out on a peregrination
On a winged sojourn to usher in a new dream
I sow the seeds of hope in the marl of great expectations
With earnest efforts I look toward to the route
Slowly dreams have louder resonance
Inside and outside me
