Poetry

Standing in shallow water when it is low tide
Experience one can get there of a life time
When the receding water after a high tide
Washes away sand from beneath your feet.

The surfs hit you hard if to them you stop.
While receding they push you off balance
Pulling you all the while inside the ocean
Narrowing,thus,your life and deaths' gap.

The zig zag line of greenery of  hilly terrain
Hiding the beach as also sage like ocean
Even from voyager who has set-in destination,
They guard Ganapatipule like a loyal janitor.

Enchanting is contrast presented by the canvas
Of the silty red soil encircling the beach.
As if they want some thing to us teach
With the green omnipresent floras' expanse.

Equallly breath taking is celestial confluence
Of the deep blue sea with the skyline azure
Where they mingle in union on the horizon
Before the supreme Lord, in obeisance.
