The beach



I went to the beach today
Today,on a rainy day
The waves were high and strong
Boosted by the monsoon winds

I walked along the seashore
To see what all the waves washed in
Seaweeds and debris,plastic waste
Lay scattered everywhere

Many tiny little crabs
Thrown onto the seashore by the waves
Half-naked children of fishermen
Running after them in vain

Then i saw an old bottle
I began to dream to be
A hero of some story
Heard long before

Some sailor from far away land
Might have left a note for me
So hopefully I opened the bottle
Finding nothing inside,I kicked it back into the sea...

Rain

Over the vales of greenery
Over the misty lake
Over the fields of paddy
Which lies from end to end

The cloud fills up the sky
The breeze builds up its pace
Sound of thunder fills up the air
And raindrops starts to fall

The smell of soil fills the air
I peep out of my window
To feel the chilly air
To see the sights of the rain

People running for cover
To escape the drenching downpour
Children stops their games and mirth
And dejectedly head for home

Birds fly off to their nests
A sudden burst of lightning
Fills the sky with fear
Tell me my friend, Who enjoys the rain?
