A Unique Spring
In the era 26 centuries ere on a full moon day
In the vivid month of flowers blooming May
This scenario supervened in the Continent of Asia
Well within the parameters of Maha Baharath viz. India
When ideologies followed by citizens were many a kind
And as to the true nature of life, most if not all, were blind
Placed in the highest elevation of a section of a stream
A unique Spring blossomed within a lady-like stream.
People have espied seven water drops galloping forward
For the interpretation of the same the ruling king ordered
Able Geologist who inspected and were of the view
This spring would flourish as the most enormous reservoir new
Else this would perish with a unique identity reaching the sea
Benefiting people their lively hood and spirituality as the key
The chief Hydrologist summoned, was definite of what he did foresee
This will become a unique and purified stream and perish at sea
The mother stream dried off completely after seven days
The spring developed into a beautiful stream in a few days
The people in the proximity did tend to be prosperous and pious
The spring appeared to confirm the hydrologist’s view unbious
This stream did flow to sea being neither too shallow nor too deep
As if being a precedent to induce people to follow suit to reap
Their own harvest from their fields using the water in this stream
To be devoid of greed to attain the ultimate objective they deem
