# Life Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

Like a dropp of water from heaven I find a life inside ocean
She cajoles me
Gives me a place inside her breast
Protects me
Gives me a new life
I play with others drops
I grow with them
They all come from the same source
My heaven
But we are not all same
Some are greenish, some more bluish, some like me
Sometimes we mingle, sometimes separate
That's why, you see the ocean in different colors
All are expressions of us
Our moods our joys our pathos
Lurk and hark inside Ocean
You only see the surface
While the waves of our moods flow in silence
You do not see them
As I grow, I group with a simile
I become bigger,
I occupy more space in time
I get more hue and color
I travel from place to place
I form bigger waves,
You then hear me at the beaches
Sometime I visit you there
To look at you
To feel you as you come near to me in fear
Fear me not
I love you
It is your fear that draws you to me more
So much love I feel then
I take you forever.
