A Storm Silent

Once on a struggling night

I sat on the sea shore;

On a soaking rock;

away from wrongs and right

and life violent,

I sat there with storm silent.

 

I can see the tidal waves high

And the energy it contains.

That can erode any mountain

or can soak even the Sahara plain.

I’ve seen it destroying civilizations

and leaving women and children vane.

The tidal waves which are handicapping fields,

making its richness and greenery insane!

 

“But the things weren’t the same!”

said the sobbing sea,

“Once I was full of livelihood

and scoring happiness!

I was the dwelling place of huge whales,

to squids to small and fluffy fishes.”

 

“I was the bliss, a father;

 who aids them and didn’t bother.

I, who adopts everyone,

from a killer shark to an eel

and used to smell the emotions

that they feel!”

 

“Once I was soaring high,

taking the smell of fresh and low sky.

There I found an abandoned child.

With origin unknown

and nature wild.”

 

“He was the biggest of everyone

and was heavier by a ton.

On the surface, he used to float.

Unlike others, he bore mouths four.”

 

The sobbing sea gave a throbbing wail,

with usual pathos that it entails.

“I thought that it would be fair

to give that orphan a shelter

who breathe smoggish air.”

 

“But who’d thought that things would turn around

Who’d thought, that mirage would prey my children

like a curbing omen and hungry hound!

The child whom I blindly trust

made me cripple like an iron covered with rust!”

 

“Sucking all the energy and vigor of me

and beautiful soul that born.

Reducing me to a mere mockish and churning trickle.

He left me to bear the company of life violent.

He left me with a storm silent!”

This was unusual, like Shiva having a bad day, does Shiva EVER have a bad day?
