Poem: Reflections

||Hari Om || || Shree Ram || || Ambadnya ||

I recently had the privilege of attending a conference at Kochi, which is a truly beautiful place.
This Poem is dedicated to one of the best Sunsets ever, spent in the company of friends.
I hope I manage to convey a fraction of the feeling. #ApiconKochi

Reflections

In the gentle light
Of the setting Sun
Here the sky and
Sea are one

 

 

The scent of music
Fills the air
Leaving neither
Fear nor care

 

 

With the tide and
Ebb and flow
The boats at peace
Do gently row

And as the light
Gives way to dark
Into a different realm
We embark

 

 

Where all the glistening
Lights from shore
Light up the sea
With so much more

 

 

Like Fairy lights
From a distant past
Upon the waves
Their glow they cast

And in the reflections
A different world
A secret, covert
Place unfurls.

 

Just inches from
The Sandy beach
But across the mirror,
Out of reach

 

 

Shadows, light
And rustling trees
The ripples dancing
In the breeze

 

 

Single steps turn
Into miles
And much is said
In silent smiles

 

 

The present soon
Becomes the past
Mirrored upon
The rippling glass

 

 

In a heartbeat, fleeting
The moment's gone
And reflected as a memory
It will live on!
