The Ocean

By Sabareesh. N

Slip, I fell into

The mighty deep ocean

Of sad cries.

I was tied with a massive ball

Of dark and despair,

Like food going down caves of sharp stones.

I sank down and down

To the bottom of the blue,

Followed by electric eels

With electric touches of failure.

I saw the sky of joy

For a little help,

Then a hand of kindness

Covered me with petals of care,

Took me up and up,

A hurdle in the way,

The massive ball.

But the hand was backed

By sharp scissors

Of advice from the wise.

I came out of the tear,

The hand taught me

To accept faith,

Light your dark life

With flames of friendship,

Sparks of motherhood.

Then the tear dried.

For myself, I lied

To wait for the future

Of glory, and the way you lead to the light.
