The Ocean



I'm sure all of us are on the brink of an exciting New Year awaiting us. December 2009 was super hectic with a lot of personal affairs in queue. I had to give this a polished end.
After so many years, it was quite an experience participating in the culturals. Following a buzzy discussion among the excited participants, a concept for the fashion show was finalized. Throughout the rehearsals we had a great time. I was asked to write an introduction to the theme - "Colors of the Ocean". While penning my thoughts down, I realized the subject of the poem is as profound as it is in being. I have tried my best to cover facets of the ocean. There certainly could have been, or rather, there IS more to it than we imagine...
Feel yourself ashore a beautiful ocean...spellbound! Hope this poem takes you there.. :)

Fathomless depth that mesmerizes imagination
A mysterious entity that lies beyond the scope of reason

Seamlessly stretching blues beyond what we see
Like a silent companion engulfing our grief and reverie

An artist’s paradise
And what seems heaven in a lover’s eyes

A solemn friend through a pensive walk
Splashes and froths as we play and talk

Enigmatic by every discovery
But a pleasant haven to smile and rest our worry

Colorful and mystic – it is nature’s rendition
Unchain memories and paint your dreams with the COLORS OF THE OCEAN!
