The Sea and Beyond


In those moments of truthful silence
With deepest desires, eyes filled
Of passion, of treading the world hence
Life seems still, as courage is instilled.
.
Unlike an obstacle, the waves really charm
The salty breeze seems so hard to resist
Will they hug me and set my mind at calm ?
Or will I drift away, like the sand from my fist ?
.
Far ahead, I see a ship set sail
As the birds make a ruckus, much like the waves
From the sea, shall be born a great tale
Else the road lies dark to long forgotten graves
.
The lonely wave grows really tall
My thoughts they are, my life they make
In drenched glory, I yearn to see it all
Or is this just a mirage for my earthy sake ?
.
The ship moves afar as the sun sets to sleep
In my blindness, do I see nature taunt?
My legs in the sand, are down pretty deep
Will I conquer the calm blue sea, and everything beyond ?

I have a confusion with two sreejiths as my readers. So when I happen to visit one, I am naturally tempted to visit the other too.

I see that you have no new post

*** Will I conquer the calm blue sea, and everything beyond ?

Maybe stretching a hand of friendship towards it, could help to see everything beyond.

Srijith, this is a beautiful poem by the sea.

***Or will I drift away, like the sand from my fist ?.
those are some great words.They speak volumes like the deep, unknown depths of the sea.

Dropped in to say 'HI'.
From the sea, shall be born a great tale

You showed me the sea..though your depiction
Her turbulent surface..chides my emotions
Her serene belly...recalls my intentions
The setting sun...reminds me of lost time
Fistful of sand...coerceing to let bygones be
Wave's dance with winds...accentuates team-spirit
Sails at full mast.....suggests effeciency at peak
