The Anchor Poem by Siddharth Nair

As pure as a pearl embedded in an oyster in the clear blue sea,
As sublime as the heart of a little white dove fluttering in ecstasy,
As carefree as a butterfly matching its colours with jasmine and rose,
As resourceful as a bee, combing the gardens for honey - ambrose,
As magnanimous as a river which satiates the parched land,
As intriguing as deserts in moonlight with moving dunes and shifting sand,
As blemish-free as a mother who nurtures her little ones,
As loyal as a soldier who never deserts his guns,
With a smile that wins, And eyes that talk
You'have got a long way to go, So don't falter in your walk,
Remember my words when the tide is low,
Wish my words be the anchor, for you, to tide over any blow.
