The Waveless Sea
Updated: Apr 30, 2020
By-Sagar Venkateshwar
In the poignant lands,
Lived a boy at the farthest end,
Filled with stories and dreams,
With hopeless idealism,
Which received a harsh reality check,
In a place far away from home,
No soothing sea for solace,
Enslaved in the fiery land,
Brimming with emotions and passions unheard of,
Survival was a tricky task,
Continuous battle with self didn’t help,
No clear winner in sight,
The breakdown was only an eventuality,
Despair, hopelessness were best friends,
All he wanted was a ray of hope,
But only darkness was visible,
Bafflement for science,
No help in sight for miles,
The lone battle is a tough business,
In a stroke of chance were two stones found,
To light up a fire for the fight,
Only for the waves to be heard again!
