On the  sands, on the land....
It  is 
a   massive  breathless whale
 Cast on the 
shore,  ye, ruthless  
Waves   slash   
the  dead:
Years  of 
dwelling   on the  sea
 To  no  end, water’s 
crude  treatment,
Yet  I hear 
the gyrating  rhythm,
The  Blue 
itself   is    mesmerised        
The  journey’s mystery is  beyond 
The comprehension of the                     
Eternal  terrifying 
depthless  vast.
On the sands,  an improvised tent,
Where   urchins  
sip coca, set  the                
Stage   for   carom   and  
chess :
Game  is  life
for them;                                                                                                                                                          
On the
 Land, most  veil   
Already
 their 
masked  face,                     
Life  is 
their  game  for 
them,
Win  or 
lose  it is  a 
necessary  morsel.
Yet   there is  
another jubilant  group
Playing
 on the  abandoned  
 boat,
Picking
up    shells,  delving into 
The  mystery of their  cast and mould.
They   prefer 
to  get  drenched 
Watery  splashes 
,salty  froth  all over.
Play,
play  they  all play 
Play  to 
their full  content.
There   are the waves, tidal   knots,
Rolling  over, resounding  as  if 
The cosmic  supremacy of  the Universe.
I 
hear  a  murmur 
of  
Strange   voice, dictum  envisioned, 
It  is , it is 
all notations ,           
avidly     Preset  calculations.
