Ocean Rock Poem by kaavyaa kriday

Ocean Rock



She makes a castle
the princess she feels that she is.
But so close to the sea..
Doesn't she knows the castle won't last long there?
Doesn't she knows the waves don't care?
I see the ruthless waves melt her dreams away
But what's this?
She's smiling as she builds another,
ahhh! Fortified walls around this one!
I guess I'll never understand humans,
for from their mistakes they learn..

He's a warrior...you can tell
A war cry and he's off
an epic battle against the waves
to reach the ocean's core
where he always seems to lose
as he's pushed back to the shore..
Ahh the shame of defeat!
But he's on his feet already
Stranger yet, he laughs and giggles!
Ahh what weird spirit is this?
I will never understand!
doesn't this child have any sense?
Why does he even try?
But I guess I'll never understand humans,
as I hear the roaring waves tease his puny war cry...

They say age kills their courage
that 'impossible' enslaves them,
but I hope someday they get to a beach
and see how lessons of life
even kids can teach..
A mere black rock I'll always be
as the sea turns into a field of gold
at a new day's start,
I always wished I could feel the waves,
but now I wish for a human heart..
