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.
