Playing By The Beach Poem by V P Mahur

Some children
Playing by the beach
Running here and there
Giving the screech
Of joy and pleasure
Some elderly persons
Resting on the cool sand
Are smiling to see them play
As if try to find out
Their own childhood
Some others are dosing
With half closed eyes
As if enjoying
Both sleep and play
At the same time
The waves are calm
The children
Make cups of their palm
Fill salty water
And try to erect
Their dream palace
Their innocent genius
Does not know
That all the castles on the beach
Are highly prone to
The wave of a high tide
And wash them away
Like the palace of
The bodies of man
Once trapped in the high tide
Of approaching time
Are washed away
And their souls are merged
In the eternal soul
Forever like the sand
On the beach
Again gets ready
For the new palaces
And the wheel of time
Goes on like this
