The Jubilant Tide And The Joyous Kids Poem by Minnoor srinivasan

Teacher surrounded by kids,
Tiny souls
Stood by sea side!
There the play of tide
Bewitched and beckoned.
A child said, "May we fasten
Bubble and surf into string of pearls? "
The teacher quibbled, "No it will be
Impossible! "
"Let us go home it is twilight" said the teacher.
Kids jubilantly said "we shall count the tides
One by one and see the last one of the sea! "
Teacher stood wonder struck.
Another juvenile voice proclaimed,
The sea lives up to reach the rim of the sky!
But another child wondered, the sky remains calm
And voiceless!
The teacher too remained wordless along with
The kids boisterous and Nature, silent witness.
