Slipped off tangent

 


The ripples reach the horizon eventually

Riding on their shallow and feeble oars

A scratch on the fathomless depths

They  bend with waves without a fight

Now the horizon smiles at the tides

As ripples slip beyond the grand citadel

Their tiny crest wear the golden crown

And their trough dives behind the blue

Between the sand and the horizon lies

The expanse called life , and life is all we seek

But find only water, waves, bubbles and the like

If at all we wish to open our eyes of mind

The sea is nothing but these infinite drops

And what occurs in their briny realm

There is no place that we call adrift

For all falls within the arc of our life

Between the enormous tides of time

Every I generates his own ripple

That touches the horizon in pursuit of sea

Only if the eye can only brave the glare

And look long enough with hope at the Echo.
