The Goan waves ;)

The waves came gushing,
Its roar fell loud and menacing,
But with no one beside me,
I looked at it with a smirk on my face ;

I stood away from it,
Teasing the attempts of the sea,
To wet my feet,
Its waves looked helpless.

But the sea was billowing,
I said to the sea:
"You over-estimate your strength"
As usual the waves did not listen.

The waves were let down each time,
By their own siblings(fellow waves),
The sibling which came to rise was absorbed,
By the one which retreated from the shore.

Seeing the chaotic attempt of the waves,
I felt confident in my stand,
The waves will never come near me,
The idiotic waves never learn the lesson,I thought.

The waves represented me,
My harrowed past and failed attempts,
I looked upon the sea - concerned,
I was fearing failure that was with the waves.

The more I looked,
The more I sorrowed for them,
Failure is everywhere, even with the waves,
No one can escape its grab.

With these thoughts on my mind,
I did not turn my attention to the trying waves,
Something was different,
That was for sure.

The siblings helped each other,
When they concentrated their efforts,
The waves came one behind the other in harmony,
Such was the timing,the waves aided their reach.

I was thrilled at the sight of it,
But the surge was limited;
I was hoping for the next one to wet my feet,
But I was once again let down,thanks to failure.

I decided to turn my back on these waves,
Saying "Good Bye!"
The waves said adieu, which I did not expect,
With one of them wetting my feet.

The chill of my wet feet,
Struck a chord with my mind,
The waves did not have just failure,
They had persistence and courage to win over it !

As a person who lacked both,I admired,
Then I realised,the waves have passed on those qualities,
Now its my turn to fight against failure,
The very reason that I was born for.
