The Damped Sand, sad!

The Damped Sand, sad!

3 mins

After a scorching hot day

A full moon appeared

With a silver gaze all around,

Huge hungry waters 

From the horizon

Rushing ,gushing towards the shore

Made their way, the sand ravished.

A sudden pull from the moon,

The water gained heights

Trying enchantingly 

To kiss the moon.


Suddenly the force weakened,

Then, a thunderous sound

Of boundless waters, and

Sea shore splashed it back;

All emotions mixed

Joy , sorrow, laughters, pain 

The frenzy memories all around

Yet it seemed all in vain.


The damped sand, sad!

Had witnessed it all

The ebb, the tide

The rise, the fall;

It's eyes had wept,

Unnoticed! 

Those drops the tide had swept.


I asked,

"O! you fragile, hollow

Yet a soothing friend,

Why plunged into sadness.

Why vehemence?


Ebb and tide 

Is nature's design

You know it all,

Unfair is your despondency!


You my friend so fragile

You slip even from

The cavities of my fist;

So powerless you are

To bind those waters

Huge grey, frothy

With an unchanging behaviour,

Hollow is your Bosom,

Yet you grieve!


Look at that unended water surface

It never rests

Yet it's depth is unchanged and calm.


Your magnitude too

Has a purpose, has a reason,

Not to bind the waters but

Your Bosom soft and serene

Is the divine lap

For the tired waves to rest.

Don't aim, don't cry 

For what is not your destiny.


Waves are born, waves die

They are forever calling,

Yielding relentlessly;

And you! Though fragile, hollow

Yet hold the ground profoundly.


The sun, the moon

Twinkles at you

Cherish that love of God,

The creator of you and me.


Don't grieve 

Don't show despondency

Nature and God never play games

As They are the saviors

They are the creators.....
