Seven evocative haiku by Prof Ram, exclusively for Different Truths, paint a vivid tapestry of nature, devotion, and life’s fleeting moments at the Ganges.
Sun rising late
slow arrival of winter
feverish warmth
awaits the sunrise
in the chilly Ganges
a nude worshipper
sunrise
behind the temple:
cloud’s edge
flowers turn
to the rising sun:
greeting
a dense fog
hides the sunrise—
waning winter
her day begins
before dawn with the lantern
worshipping lingam
aged with seasons
now seeks sojourn in the west—
no more sunrise
welcoming sunrise
dew drops on dry leaves—
an epitaph
