Dawn By Seashore Of Puducherry Poem by Savita Tyagi

Dawn By Seashore Of Puducherry

Rating: 5.0


O! Gorgeous dawn
Shining above horizon
To you thousands of Oceanids rise
To pay homage before sunrise.

Small fishing boats
Float on murky waves
Like sleepy mermaids
Stirring at the call of dawn.

The unbleached silence of opaque
morning is broken by a motorboat.
Like a fiend it harasses the tiny boats
Before vanishing further in rising mist.

Radiant rays of orange sun
Tear darkness away from earth.
Life abounds with colors opulent.

Early risers take the morning walk.
Yogis on beach do Surya-Namaskaram
To offer their obeisance to rising sun.

Close to Sri Aurobindo's Ashram,
This small beach offers a sanguine experience
To seekers of higher consciousness
By tether of spirituality.

Simply a curious onlooker
I can't claim any of it in my short stay!
But a solitary look at mesmerizing dawn
And the rising sun reveals possibility
Of a cheerful day.

Few years back I visited Puducherry and Sri Aurobindo's Ashram. Memories of that early dawn is still so fresh in my memory.

A beautiful poem, mam! Beautiful depiction of the dawn. Nyc imagery! A classical style. Somewhat like Coleridge while narrating the tale and depicting. i loved and enjoyed reading. i would be lucky to get your poetic remark on my Hindi Ghazal.

Thank you so much dear poet poet. I too visited Kanyakumari and few famous south temples, wasn't able to catch dawn. Few of my poems came out of that experience But this is what I have come to believe now. Religion is irrelevant If it isn't part of social fabric. Spirituality is irrelevant If it is not conscious of unifying principle of Universe. God is irrelevant If we can't feel Its influence upon our life.
