When the Sea Finds Rest

Dr Ranbir Laishram

The sea sighs,
longing for gentle rest—
as all storms fade
when the tide falls low,
and the wind hums softly
over sleeping waves.

The ocean quiets;
peace settles deep
in silent blue.

So too in life—
when voices hush,
and media quiets,
when gunfire slips to silence,
crowds thin and vanish,
law returns,
and people come home to rest.

Greed dissolves,
ego bows and drifts,
hatred leaves the heart behind—
then trouble ebbs away,
and life, like the calm sea,
flows back
to its simple, steady rhythm.
