Epiphany Poem by sunnetra basu

Epiphany



Is it an endless expanse of never ending emptiness
That stretches into delusion as far as the eyes see?
Or is it a proof of togetherness the tiny water drops show,
That unification leads to untarnished empire,
That spreads miles beyond comprehension...

What is a sea?

How do we read the waves we see?

As gigantic roars of the cannon of the empire
Or an attempt to show superiority...,
Or do we read the breaking of waves for eternity,
As the spirit of never giving up, until your goal is reached? ? ?
With millions of unanswered questions, you still roar on equally.
Thou really art mysterious; thy name is the endless sea...! ! !

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
R.k Das 27 March 2012

'''The sea is calm to-night. The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; —on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land, Listen! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand, Begin, and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in.''' WHILE GOING THROUGH YR POEM, , I JUST REMEMBERED TEH ABOVE LINES OF DOVER BEACH, , THANX
