305. I Will Choose The Sea Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

I will no longer spend much time
On the plains - the cities and the fields
Though they give me almost everything
To lead a happy life with my Darling.

I will climb up
Neither the mountains nor the hills
Though they tempt me to watch
The beauty of snow falling near Heaven.

I will choose the sea
Filled with perils and dangers
As it calls me every time
To collect pearls from its womb.

I will be a diver only to bring
The pearls from the oysters
Dwelling in the womb of the sea
As I'll adorn my Mistress' crown with the pearls.
