Sea Side. Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

Tranquil, like a saint's mind,
i stood along the sea shore,
Watched the crabs run sideways
Over the wet silky sand,
Which stuck at the fack of feet,
I watched a hundred waves
With their music of rushing
To the shore, unhurriedly,
Yet to a rythm of their own,
Children playing in the sand,
Somersaulting in the waves,
An occassional boat passing
In the waves to catch the fish,
Men clinging to the ropes,
When it became dark
On the horizon, water shone,
Like a silver plate,
Moon hovering over
With it's smooth smile,
Looking down on it as if it saw
The sea for the first time.
