Waves

Published on: December 5, 2018 12:30 AM

When I got bored with my routine,

It offered me

A day at the beach

Amusements are spread,

All over the world

But who said,

They fascinate us all?

It is a misconception

The waves were so incredible,

So unique, yet so similar

They were flowing so independently.

Coming towards me,

Charged with dignity

But when the devil,

Corrupted my mind,

They seemed like the villain

Of a story,

Coming to kill,

Intending for destruction

But then when in my right mind.

They appeared like some angel,

Rushing to save me

From a world full of hate

A world full of all negativities

Where the evil-doers

Do not stop for sleep

Where the devil,

Is always available

I felt they were,

Coming to embrace me

They could capture people too,

And kidnap them

But for those

Who are done with life,

The waves act as rescuers,

From the tyrannies of this world.

My heart instructed me to,

Spend my days and nights

Hearing their silent,

Yet such loud screams

The waves,

That took my breath away,

That made me pick my pen

Hence, I shall question thee

That who is lucky?

Is it me?

Who was blessed enough?

To allow the waves to move her?

But I know

That these waves,

Are a sign of my Lord

The way they lash

Break against the rocks

The way their sound

Horrifies, so many,

This is His Magnificence

Therefore we all shall thank Him,

For providing us with such incomparable beauty
