Mighty Bay! Poem by Lavanya Shankar

Thunder roaring in the sky
Darkness tearing down the veil
Treacherous is the wind
Tossing big ships in the sea
And yet you stand so lonely
In all your simplicity!


Monstrous sound of tides
Rushing with gushed up secrets
Willing to scare your nerve out
To tear your courage to pieces
Yet you stand so strongly
In all your simplicity!


Bolt of lightning striking
As if to make you blind
Huge droplets of rain pouring
Sending chillness through your vein
Yet you stand so bravely
In all your simplicity!


To their homes, hurrying
Frightened awes in the want of shelter
Roar of the ocean, threatening,
Dancing wildly like a demon
And yet you stand so mighty
In all your simplicity!
