A walk by the sea shore
Retrospecting on every day of past
Far I hear the waves encore
Striking the rocks and rising fast.
Far and near and fast and slow
In the roads that are laid by
I see busy people in full flow
With vibrant dreams to touch the sky.
In the far western horizon lies the small red sun
There are castles being built by the enthusiastic kids on the sand
As I sit and stare,the sun sets and there comes the moon
The rising waters wash away the castles on the land.
Ah! Their dreams got washed away so soon!
Yet,I find myself smiling
The sun will rise again tomorrow
Even the kids aren’t wailing
The castles can be built again so why be in sorrow?
The inspiration behind this poem are the kids that I met in the beach today. Their eyes gleaming with happiness as they played in the sand . I learnt what is true happiness looking at them.
