Rajesh Kannan
.
Huge waves in front of me,
I see the roaring sea,
I have no previous experience to swim,
My eyes are unopened and dim.
A colony of penguins jump and dive,
Our family members are fine,
My brothers have already reached the sea,
But my heart is fearful, not free.
My father calls me with love,
My mother encourages me to dive,
My small trembling legs are not steady,
To dive I am absolutely ready.
I stand at the edge of the rock,
When the sun comes around like a clock,
Distance to the sea from me is short,
Encouragement from my parents echoes in my heart.
A jump is enough to reach the sea,
From the sea, my brothers laugh at me,
I slide down from the rock to sea,
After that my heart is so free.
Life is to learn to live,
I have learnt how to dive,
Before try, everything looks big,
After try, In the heart, we have a kick.
