Trails By The Shore

By Bhargavi Ketkar

The mistful sand, carving my footprints

These beautiful grains of sand memorize me

flirting wind hits my hair

pleasingly disturbing the symmetry, I put them in

I gaze at the infinite waters

Waves hit my feet flashing me back to reality

Grappling sand beneath my feet pulls me off

Hope surrounds me by that sand, submerging into the sea

Retracting waves alarm me, remember them

Finitely, thoughts bring me back to real

Dutiful mind brings the closure

As the sun sets, these infinite waters

These are all finitely alone, just as we
