O! Gorgeous dawn
Shining above horizon
To you thousands of Oceanids rise
To pay homage before sunrise.
Small fishing boats
Float on murky waves
Like sleepy mermaids
Stirring at the call of dawn.
The unbleached silence of opaque
morning is broken by a motorboat.
Like a fiend it harasses the tiny boats
Before vanishing further in rising mist.
Radiant rays of orange sun
Tear darkness away from earth.
Life abounds with colors opulent.
Early risers take the morning walk.
Yogis on beach do Surya-Namaskaram
To offer their obeisance to rising sun.
Close to Sri Aurobindo’s Ashram,
This small beach offers a sanguine experience
To seekers of higher consciousness
By tether of spirituality.
Simply a curious onlooker
I can’t claim any of it in my short stay!
But a solitary look at mesmerizing dawn
And the rising sun reveals possibility
Of a cheerful day.
Savita Tyagi
