The Retreating River Painting

O mother, garbed in purest blue, Holding the key to life are you, Forced to retreat your blessed steps, A blunder if we ever live to regret, Gently entered this earth you did, Nurturing life a paradise created, From the snowy bed high and pure, Moving with grace deep and sure, Ages of toil with love supreme, Torn apart, leaving just an empty scream, Watch the goddess walk away, With her a broken pot of clay, The last drops lost in the sand, Will life sustain , can we ever understand. The disappearing rivers of the sub continent due to climate change is the inspiration for the painting. In Indian mythology the rivers are holy and personified as goddesses, who came down in the world from the heavens. They are a means of sustaining life. With the melting glaciers , the continued existence of these rivers is under threat. The artist has imagined a river goddess walking away, out of the frame, leaving a barren , lifeless, world behind. Can we somehow stop this retreat.
