The Waves of Life

Another poem...to break the silence.... (I'd like to thank Alok for encouraging me to write more poems :))

The Waves of Life

The horizon was dipped in beautiful colours!
A splendid visual treat for nature lovers!
The grand sun was just about to bid goodbye...
The charming moon was on its way in, with spirits high!
The water sparkled like gems galore!
I couldn’t have possibly asked for anything more!

As I ran unabashedly toward the shore...
The sea responded with an ambiguous uproar!
The waves though caressed my feet with a bubbly smile...
But, alas, the next moment they withdrew a painful mile!
I waited for them to return, full of faith and hope...
For I discerned this seesawing was fully in life’s scope!

I submerged myself in the wonderful sound of the waves...
It was just the kind of divine music for which one craves!
When from afar there came the distracting sound of a new rhythmic beat...
Perhaps someone who was to me meet and greet?!
There was darkness all around, but only for a while...
I could soon see a milky white horse come galloping in style!

I looked on as the stunning animal came to a halt.
But for its appearance, I could not trace who was at ‘fault’...
I hesitated just a bit before the animal saw me vault...
I knew I was the master and had to ride it alone...
Horse-riding skills I had to but someday hone...

As I rode away, it seemed like Nature felt no remorse!
To ask me to make mine alone the horse!
One more time, I looked back into the sea...
And saw just what I expected to see...

The waves had returned to the shore...
Of this seesawing, there would be more...
The charming moon was just about to bid goodbye...
The grand sun was on its way in, with spirits high!!
