behold how the River Nile generously flows <br />and hugs the banks with its gentile waves <br />it flows and smiles to the sun above <br />it flows as the blood inside a body <br />it flows as the breaths inside the lungs <br />it flows to greet farms and gardens <br />it flows and waters thirsty throats <br />it flows and waters flowers and trees <br />it flows and offers fish for food <br />it flows and floods the dry soil <br />it flows through a valley of its creation <br />it flows beside great pyramids and temples <br />it flows to crown a heavenly land <br />it says: ''take my waters and grow'' <br />it says: ''let my immortal waters flow'' <br />it says: ''within my surge life awakens''<br /><br />omar ibrahim<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/river-nile/
