Waves

Dashing against the gigantic rocks,

I break into droplets of water,

Storing precious pearls and plants,

In my deep depths of water.

Up and down, to and fro,

I move with great vigour,

I rise so high to touch the sky,

Bringing in tides from time to time.

The ships come in,

And rest in harbours,

And are ready again,

To sail with me to farther lands.

In this world without me,

Never ever will the life sustain.

I am heaven for humans,

And home for creatures.

-- My first poem when I was in VII standard, 2004
