Weak ‘kneed

-1-
It was raining cats and dogs
Outside my dwelling,
“Weak ‘kneed”;
Ah! The roof was leaking.
I Behold
My muse were floating
and trying to touch the very feet,
Begging and crying;
Alas! I could not help ‘em
-2-
I was struggling to reach
that freedom under the guidance
Of Mother,
Trying to stand on my sore feet
and behold the play of
The harbor waves
so extreme,
through the window pane
-3-
Trees were performing
a rain dance
The sun went behind a cloud
“As dark as pitch”,
Nature went wild;
I have seen the amalgamation
of salty brook and the giant waves.
-4-
Gradually it overpowered
Us all
The brownish water,
Somewhere thick red
Somewhere salty
with lumps of dead flesh
Streaming towards the giant mouth
As if earth went into the dark to change
-5-
How eerie
Neither erudition nor religion
Could save us…
Oh! the petty closed eyes with tears,
crying and screaming………
And I opened it
having three words on my tongue
(What an irony!!!)

“What is more beautiful?
A child on the lap of mother
or flora and fauna on nature’s lap”
salty brook- brook means a small river, here- a river full of tears
what an irony indeed…….. 🙂
very nice
Nice, nice, nice, nice and nice all the stanzas and nicer, the ending
addendum !!!!!…..!
Rajdeep,
I liked this image = ” Trees were performing
a rain dance”. What is the meaning of the title?,
Gion
@Gion Gion, one day the ocean will take our place ,its all about global warming and its effect,nature and its wild play,we have to fight ,i am trying to get that image, the true devastating image under the very title
A very beautiful and apt description of the engulfing ocean waters and nature’s “wild play” – havoc and destruction.
