The Waterway

                                                   

A stretch of water

Across Cochin Harbour

A busy waterway

Craft all sorts plying their way.

Where are they all bound?

Gliding along without a sound

Commuting and for trade

A living this way made.

In the shore bound breeze

Crows, kites and eagles

Floating, gliding, diving

My fantasy gets flying.

In this setting

Everything well fitting

One can sit and stare

In natures glory share.

This waterway made deep

From silting to keep

Cochin Port active always

A harbour for ships from far away.

The Taj Hotel with this view

High praises due

The buildings built by the British

With a colonial finish.

Across the waterway to the East

Humble cottages one sees

A view of orderliness

Homeliness and cleanliness.

People from all over

This place to savour

The Taj`s warm calling

Merging with simple living

What an experience, what a treat

For a wonderful retreat.
