WAVES

 

 For ages, she sat there on the seashore

 Watching the waves rise and fall ceaselessly

 She was not the one who belonged to the crowd

 To reach the shore to get themselves drenched

 She belonged to a different clan in this world

 Who never was tempted to the worldly plays

 Silently she spent time in her world of imagination

 Least bothered about the mad crowd and waves

One day, her vision fell on a wave rising too far away

It caught her attention, for reasons strange, unknown

It formed a rainbow with the foaming water, mesmerizing

Her solitude broken, she wanted to wade into this wave now

Wave reaching her charmingly, drenching her head to toe, she felt

A heavenly bliss, ecstasy she had never, felt in her life so long

As she stood blindly, engrossed in this splashing encircling wave

The withdrawing waves; pulled the sand under her feet, and she collapsed

Drawn mercilessly to the bottomless chasm of the deep ocean

Her breath choked her, rocks rolling hit her mercilessly all around

As she nearly saw the dark death, the end of her life near her

Using all the power of her mind and will, struggling she pulled herself out

She now sits once again, but calmly, looking at the strange waves,

 She knew that the waves can’t be blamed, for her folly her stupidity

She never learned to swim, lived in solitude, years beyond this world

To venture into unknown deep water suddenly, was not a smart move
