On one dark cloudy rainy day
I was on bank of angry Blue Ocean
With tides rising high, winds blowing hard
Tides pulled me in, wind pushed me back
All I felt and knew is fast beating heart
The fear is of tides, wind, rain, darkness
And also of being left alone
In fear I folded like a baby in womb
Closed eyes stiff with hands tucked in tummy
Hoped night will fall and light will call
Rain hadn’t stopped, instead poured heavily
Tides mounted even high, wind played with me
Night continued and made me to shiver
Slowly heart had started to feel the shiver
But rain and loneliness helped eyes to rain free
In that entire shiver I started to sing songs
Only to give and feel some company
I sang loud, whenever tides pulled;
wind played and rain poured, I sang loud
Those songs are of rain, pain, gain and shine
My shivering heart flooded with words
And shivering lips sang them loud
Only to play and cheer my silent dead drums
Slowly drums beat had made,
my shivering hearts beat to slowdown
With the slowing heart beat
I opened my eyes, moved hands
Stretched myself out to face
Tides, wind, rain, night and all to these
But they all untied and merged me into ocean
Tides pulled me deep into the blue waters
Anger disturbed ocean made it hard to breath
All I felt was falling into sound asleep
Finally I lost all my senses to feel that moment
Darkness covered all around and I closed my eyes
Slowly I felt light and lifted into the air
Like someone flying freely in the space
I opened eyes only to see myself breathing
All I knew is flying and running on blue waters
Cutting the wind, rain and the income tides
Then I realized, I was not alone on oceans bank
In that dark, cloudy and rainy night
Many are there watching and listening me
My songs made them to swim in that angry blue water
In turn it had severed me too swimmingly to breath

Then I realized, I was not alone on oceans bank In that dark, cloudy and rainy night Many are there watching and listening me My songs made them to swim in that angry blue water In turn it had severed me too swimmingly to breath If you remove the fear, loneliness and illusion from inside of your heart, you are no more alone. Its all matter of realization. Good poem, Kranthi.
