Landfall!

The breaker crashes on the shore,
digs deep inside the surrendering sand
and sucks them into its own fold
bringing huge chunks of land
collapsing into a permanent ruin!

The breaker, with its sweeping embrace,
moves thus, to another part of the shore and
brings havoc with its maddening roar and
destruction, unheard so far
during its milder sunshine time.
The reflection of the moon
loses its shape and lays stretched
and contoured like a mark of
injury, on the fuming waves that
pushes the breakers forcefully from
shore to shore.

The breaker relentlessly works,
spraying its salt, sand and rain,
trying to undo what it did, ever since
it mated with the shore years ago,
in an unknown lane,
with an unknown face
and an unknown feeling.

Thus, even today,
as the sound of breakers keep you
and me awake through the nights,
nature keeps silently creating new lands,
building new lives and a new earth,
a new you, and a new me,
in unknown new shapes!
