The Three Stones
When I feel alone
I remember back to my childhood days
And those Three Stones1.
Touched by the water
At the river bank
Those stones have been standing by ages
Near Manakamana Temple2.
My mother said
Arun3 river never
Crosses their height
Because they are placed by Lord Shiva
To cook food for him.
When I feel disappeared,
I just remember back to my childhood days
And those three stones
Near Manakamana temple.
Since the day I met you,
I aim to place
The kind of Three Stones for my own
To compare if time has changed than that of Lord Shiva’s
Or it is still the same.
But before that
You must choose
It be me
Or a myth
To be heard with you.
