Life on the Ganges, Varanasi

Buildings of riotous color!
Life moving in all directions.
We are witness to
chanting, praying, longing, living, dying
as we glide along the water
preparing ourselves for the funeral pyres
soon to come.
As dusk approaches we see
millions of sparks of light fly upward,
small traces of the souls who have departed.
