Conversation with the Sea

Asketh I from the tranquil waters

“Who art thou?” Says the wave

“A gown of the land, a bride in blue

Covereth the surface, mine shimmering waves

I catch the pearls of heaven

I drinketh the silken rays of the sun

I breathe in the shimmering stars

Hides I, the blemishes of the silver beauty

I caress the creatures of the deep

Formest I, the fluffy clouds

And I giveth life unto the barren lands

And it is I that sparkle in thine eyes”

I closet mine eyes at the mere words

And I hear distinctly-

“I live on till eternity

I am the Sea, the Earth’s beauty.”

A Prayer to God

I lift up my head towards the sky

The heaven and the earth behold me sigh

My lips are moving in a silent prayer

My eyes are closed, I am standing there

"Oh God" I pray,

"Grant me a boon that I may

Not hurt a single being

Or destroy even a little thing

May I be loved by all

And may I hear each distressed call

May I do everyone good

And may I never ever be rude

May I help all the needy souls

And may I reach all my goals"

With this I lower my eyes upon the earth

I feel contended with my new birth

I can hear God whispering slowly

"And Lo! my child, I forgive your folly"
