Call of the Sea

Call of the Sea

Before me, the sprawling sea is lying

Wallowed In a covering transparent;

I’m sitting mesmerized looking as far

My eyes can reach, seeking the distant

Horizon; only the expanding sky azure

Is my far-off companion;

A mammoth rock is rising upwards standing

In the deep sea, offering prayers to

Almighty in silence,

I feel solace in the surrounding which

Appear to be extremely calm and

Contented; for sometime, I am relieved

Of the burden of my large ego, and

My false persona exuding airs of

My self-imposed vanity and pride; sitting

For hours together, I feel grounded and

Shorn of any falsity;

I love being there and watching the gentle

Waves flashing broad smiles sending

The message of living life simply and peacefully;

I’m charged up for the time

Being in the course of my journey

Of my life;

Watching the silent sea for hours is

A part of my soul-searching,

Running continuously till the end.
