Listen to the wind

Dr Bahena Okram
Oh weary seafarer!
What ails you than the sea deeper?
Those furrows above your eyebrows
Concealing a tale of unknown sorrow.
The sea vast and uncertain,
With the fury of gales unchained,
And tides like never - ending walls,
The seagulls are the only company.
Your mind clouded by a thick fog
A journey ahead full of smog
With not a lighthouse in the vicinity,
In the lonely sea of negativity.
But fear not Oh voyager!
For the sea has its boundaries,
Listen to the wind so agile,
It is the whisper of a thousand ancestors!
Who have long reached the shore.
You are not alone in the hazy voyage,
Generations before and generations behind,
In the fine sands of time,
Leave a different story of the dark nights.
The sea always meets the land,
Every tough way leads to a wonderland!
The beacon is not far away,
Keep wiping your sweat away.
Listen to the wind and let it sing...
Your victory to those following,
Knots after knots you have sailed,
A triumph never to be forgotten.
