Island Poem by Suresh Kumar EK
Island
The island
- - - - - - -
In the roaring waves,
Raised his black head,
Without disappearing,
Here is a tough rock.
In the salinity of the sea
Absolutely insoluble
Roughand hard surfaces
Like acne on faces
Tides of emotions
The silence subsided
An inanimate object
Like a volcano
Like our dry life.
Fleshy oysters
And hard mussels
Can cling and grow
Hide the pearls in between
Sharp hawk beaks
Or Crab legs
Can't do anything to the rock
Out of this indifference
You can also increase your sharpness
Come on.

A powerful poem on a piece of rock jutting out of the sea. Continuously beaten and ravaged by the waves, the rock remains indefatigable against the opposing forces of Nature. It gives shelter to the crabs, oysters and mussels! It is a metaphorical representation of all the indomitable personalities of the world who continue to sustain mankind! A great poem!
