Whispers by the Riverbend

Where soldiers rest, and nature speaks in silence.

By Rohitha LankaPublished 8 months ago β€’ 1 min read

A humble, black-eyed scoundrel...!

Shah, an, today too, in the evening,

The three of them were coming to the bank.

I heard a theatre audience sitting nearby,

Saying in a slightly louder voice to their theatre audience,

That day,

Although not completely,

The day was spent patrolling the village,

Yes, it was very pleasant...!

On that bank,

Which had satisfied its mind with a little more body color than white,

Small Ravan Katu boats had stopped here and there..

You can see the way in which the small river has made a bend to the right at this point..

The left and right bank states have been almost completely conquered by the giants of Kumbuk, and in addition to this,

The green bamboo bushes have grown in this area.

The only sounds that often come from the small river

And the black stone walls of the soldiers are the gentle silver laughter that comes from the bodies of the soldiers,

And the calm sound of "Sara-Sara" or "Sili-Sili" from the green bamboo bushes, which are happy to see that beautiful sight.

Occasionally,

The only sounds are the clatter of a peacock roaming the riverbank jungle

And the delicate sound of a pelican hitting the water as its beak hits its target.
