WAITING FOR A NEW DAWN…………..
The fierce sea currents lashed at it, with all their might,
They came rushing forward like galloping horses, rose to a height, A
nd struck it hard, like a python does,
with its deadly fangs.
But it stood firmly at its place- the big, old rock.
Braving relentlessly, the fury of the sea.
A lightning thundered ominously close by,
And the dark clouds, scattered in the sky,
Slowly came together and merged with one another.
It seemed that they all stood together to mock,
At the plight of the rock..
The gusty gale made the sea rumble violently.
It looked as though the waves were saying with a scorn,
Oh, great rock, standing there all alone and forlorn!
No matter, how much you try and valiantly endure,
We will shatter you to pieces, that’s for sure.
Even as this war waged, the rock stood there, resolute,
It knew it had to fight, It could not allow itself to be subdued..
It remembered the tranquil days of the ocean.
When it basked under the warm sun,
And the gently flowing water caressed its feet.
When the seagulls and a myriad of other birds,
flocked together and perched on it.
When the frolicking waves, and the pleasant breeze
Gave rise to lilting melodies.
Even as these thoughts carried its mind far away,
A huge and ferocious wave crashed at the place where it lay.
It made the flame of hope, in its heart, flicker….
But not for long…
The rock kept gazing wistfully at the faraway horizon,
Yearning to see,
in the darkness, a beam of light,
Which would give way to a new dawn, beautiful and bright.
