The Waterfront by Shreya Singh Sunday, March 04, 2007 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan

One day on the drive back home I stopped by a beach And watched the waves crash ashore I wrote his name upon the sand, But along came the waves And washed it back Amongst seashells, debris & soft sand I wrote it again with a second hand But along came the tide, and took away his name I stood back a step as if in cue And watched the sea As it changed its hue As the surf came again And foamed around my feet in a cool vise Tempting me to wade further by calling my eponym The sea mocked me & said that I was vain For I was immortalizing a name When I myself, would one day decay � �Author, Shreya Singh��

Wisdom with stunning metaphors. i love the sea when its a certain kinda blue, yet never found the words to describe it.. Reminds of a film called Il Postino, wonderful poem...

Very nice...a poem that places one within the grasp of Nature and its power, as it shows the erasure of human work... very nice poetic thought.....Art Sun...
