Over The Sea Poem by Valsa George
Over The Sea
I am gliding n' floating over the calm sea
Where there is nothing but vacancy
Before me stretches the infinite space
I am in no hurry to move in a brisk pace
Forward and forward, leisurely I plow
Over the ocean's tranquil flow
Soon a storm brews
And a terrible scene ensues
Winds howl, waters wobble and rise
And my vessel is about to capsize
It is bobbing over the merciless waves
Now my mind in acute agony raves
Waves after waves come crashing
They seem hell bent on crushing
I hear the rising wind whistling
They sound like funeral wailing
I look up to the graying night sky
Like coils of smoke, my prayers rise high
I have a premonition, my boat is about to wreck
But to my relief I see a luminous speck
Amid dark clouds, I spot the evening star
It seems to commune from far
'Never give up hope, steer your course
Dispel all fears and apply your force'
With renewed vigor and pluck
Lifting the oar I strike
I feel my pulse quicken
And the fury of the winds slacken
Now I steer my course through the sea
Knowing life is never hassle free
Battling with the hostile elements
I am bent on conquering all impediments
Great imagery........Valsa.......A metaphor on sea of life that has waves, gales, swells, turbulence......need to be overcome to come ashore of life.......great write with fairy and fair sails.........
You put a lot of yourself in this poem as you take us on the ocean voyage. Excellent rhyme and atmosphere and i'm glad you gave it an encouraging finish.
Sea has never ending waves. Just when we think of being in calm waters another one hit. Your courage is inspiring. Enjoyed this beautiful write Valsa.
According to my belief we are a bucket of water taken from the sea and we cannot be described as sea. But when we shall be thrown back into the sea we shall become a part of sea. So if one is traveling towards the sea, one is traveling to the origin. No problem my friend we shall Insha Allah meet into the sea as good friends.
a fabulous message for steering through life's turbulent times, come what may!
This is a fantastic verse, Valsa. So much of it reminds of the Romantic poets. There's one poem that came right to mind as I concluded a first reading- -Wordsworth's A Dream. This goes directly to myfavourites.
The speck of light, that guides us in turbulant voyage of life is the Saving factor, you have dealt it with clearly. If the far off speck of light and its message is not understood, then we are doomed. Good poem.
Halfway through this poem I was gripped with fear, thank you for the ending, now prayer and hope I'll hold dear.-a 10
In every movement on this land there lies some risk and danger and real solution is hope. The poet created a nice poem which the survival is on the hope and it is nice.while reading the poem I felt that the exact episode of the boat wreck that is told in the poem which is the perfect creativity of the poetic talent and mind.
