[Poetry] An evening by the beach, I heard a Voice

by Shailey Bellamkonda


An evening by the beach, I heard a Voice


A sight by the Sun

A song by the moon

Free and wild

I have no prison


I am the Ocean


I rise to the clouds

and make the rain

to feed the fields

that grant the grain!


I am the Ocean


Show some sense

and don’t you litter

So many lives

take my shelter


You grow old

and die one day

Forever young,

for thee, let me stay


I am the Ocean


At times I spurt

And you’re hurt

It’s a feature

designed by nature


I don’t enjoy

causing you harm

Be reasonable

and keep me calm


I am the Ocean


Salt in Taste

Sweet at Heart

Give worries a pause

Come lets hug and kiss


I am the Ocean
