Over The Sea Poem by Valsa George
Over The Sea
I am gliding n' floating over the calm sea
Where there is nothing but vacancy
Before me stretches the infinite space
I am in no hurry to move in a brisk pace
Forward and forward, leisurely I plow
Over the ocean's tranquil flow
Soon a storm brews
And a terrible scene ensues
Winds howl, waters wobble and rise
And my vessel is about to capsize
It is bobbing over the merciless waves
Now my mind in acute agony raves
Waves after waves come crashing
They seem hell bent on crushing
I hear the rising wind whistling
They sound like funeral wailing
I look up to the graying night sky
Like coils of smoke, my prayers rise high
I have a premonition, my boat is about to wreck
But to my relief I see a luminous speck
Amid dark clouds, I spot the evening star
It seems to commune from far
'Never give up hope, steer your course
Dispel all fears and apply your force'
With renewed vigor and pluck
Lifting the oar I strike
I feel my pulse quicken
And the fury of the winds slacken
Now I steer my course through the sea
Knowing life is never hassle free
Battling with the hostile elements
I am bent on conquering all impediments
Life is never hassle free Must conquer all impediments Beautiful words to quote in a wonderful poem. Thank you.
Inspiring! I feel my pulse quicken! Mostly the Sea-literature and the sea-movies are about life and the impediments. It has always been used by symbolist writers as a strong hint for life...the sea is a boundless and an immense phenomenon of nature, and this is a bold task to write about the sea in bound verse like couplets or any rhyming...this poem is basically a general outline summary of the experience of life which usually we undergo that's why the voice speaking as I does not lead to any subjective approach but it is applied to all. The last stanza is quite strengthening: Now I steer my course through the sea Knowing life is never hassle free Battling with the hostile elements I am bent on conquering all impediments! A strong and strengthening poem!
It is said, If you are once courageous, fall in love, if you are twice courageous, go to war and if you are thrice courageous, go to the sea. Madam, you are thrice courageous and the tale is very enterprising here.
The sea of life has waves that one must meet and go through. Here you have envisaged the storm and willingly want to go through it. It is statement of your courage. Great write. Enjoyed it!
a fabulous message for steering through life's turbulent times, come what may!
This is a fantastic verse, Valsa. So much of it reminds of the Romantic poets. There's one poem that came right to mind as I concluded a first reading- -Wordsworth's A Dream. This goes directly to myfavourites.
The speck of light, that guides us in turbulant voyage of life is the Saving factor, you have dealt it with clearly. If the far off speck of light and its message is not understood, then we are doomed. Good poem.
Halfway through this poem I was gripped with fear, thank you for the ending, now prayer and hope I'll hold dear.-a 10
