| Havelock 2015 |
Morning sun rose amidst the serene water
And the water shone like a silver light
The lonely tree gushed and smiled with the waves
And they made promises for a lifetime
I returned when the sun was about to set
And now, the tree stood lonely
Leaves didn't sway, water had receded
And morning promises were broken
Such is our life joys and moments
The spring tide we danced and enjoyed
Leaves us at the eve
For good or bad I can't tell
But I can say, the dawn will bring the joy
If only we can stand through the night!
With snow-white beaches, teal shallows, a coast crammed with beach huts and some of the best diving in South Asia, Havelock is one of the most beautiful islands of Andaman & Nicobar Islands(India).
The way the tree stands through the tide is a wonderful metaphor for love. I think to rekindle with Dawn is the way to live.

ReplyDeleteDay light often makes problems seem less.
ReplyDeleteIt seems a shame to be lonely on Havelock,but I found the love story of tree and stream to be like my love affair with life.
ReplyDeleteExpression of nature's beauty at Havelocks through the poetry is in its complete perfection. I have never been to there but now I have made up my mind to visit the place.
