    He had that dream again that night
    And woke up feeling so distraught.
    Walking carefully with steps light,
    He came out wondering where to start.

    "Where is that golden river? First
    I need to find that. Then I will
    Figure out a way to reach it fast
    And take a dip. Yes! I surely will!",

    He thought and got busy in work.
    A millionaire, he had everything,
    But this dream gave him a jerk.
    Beyond money there are a few things.

    One day he decided to take a break
    And pursue his dream in order to
    Fulfill that urge and packed his bag
    And started his travel to places new.

    He crossed many rivers, and visited
    Many new countries, yet could not
    Find that river which eluded
    Him for years. He gave up not.

    Finally he gave up after
    A long time, feeling sad.
    It was a festive night rather
    A heavy crowd on road made it bad.

    "Where are these people going?",
    He asked one, got a short response.
    "For evening prayers!", he said going
    Ahead ignoring this guy's thanks.

    Cursing everything he went on
    Following others, very slowly.
    Their joy made him sulk more and
    He suddenly started to feel lonely.

    Finally he reached that point
    Where several thousand people
    Were waiting with lamps pointing
    East as a booming bell just rang.

    It was an hour after dusk
    And darkness was more engulfing.
    As he saw, the lamps were left
    In the river, and people were praying.

    So many lamps at that time made
    The river waters to glitter as gold.
    Rooted to the ground, he then prayed,
    Joined others, jumping in the river of gold.
