Dreamtime of a Troubled Sea

(spotted by AB, photo by Pins N Ashes)




The sea
Off Mumbai,
settling down
after a tumultous day,
patted to sleep
by the lullaby
of the setting Sun.



Quiet,
resting at ease,
the tree stands guard
on the shores
shsh-ing the birds
chattering there
after a long day.





As the Sea sinks
into Dreamtime,
disturbed
by visions
up there,
of a black crcodile,
a faceless cat;
the Sun
spreads
a blanket of dark,
patting the waves asleep,
saying,
Rest now,
don't worry,
tomorrow,
will dawn again,
a brand new day!
