Twisting, turning, restless
the fluid pearl and molten silver
intertwined,
seeking each other?
trying to break free?
they race to the shore
struggling for a foothold
but the banks refuse
to entertain
the vagrants
desperate to drop anchor!
Each time their desperation
rises in waves
and spread helplessly
on coarse sand,
pleading with recalcitrant rocks
the salt of their tears
leaves a moist imprint.
They bring with the tides
all that the ocean has to offer-
shells, conch, vista, vision...
and return empty handed.
The sea, never accepts
what land and its inhabitants
fling at it
it simply walks away
throwing back all
that was tossed at it...
For eternity
the sky
showers its moisture
on raging seas
and the favor is returned
with vapors sent from
its surface...
For ages
rivers drown in ocean
with the vagaries they bring along
the ocean,
drinks up the sweet waters
and leave the dirt and mirth
to float on the shore...
Each time it is abused
it shots back
and bruises
the humanity.
I wonder,
if I throw
a smile at it,
will it throw it
back at me
with same gusto?
