Waves or Stars?
Waves wear rare pearls
Created by a celestial dame
They bounce with the morning rays,
echo with the rushing ripples,
Sending a shiver across the shore.
Waves hold the stars,
A silvery liquid sparkles and flows
through the dark alleyways of my heart
To thaw the emotional distrust,
to purge my shadowy eyes.
A thousand stories
linger on the beaming waves
Eager to spillover.
An anchor
for time traps in this maelstrom.
Waves hold the power
To allure, to calm, to tranquilize
Waves hold the light,
The light that wraps around my heart
to guide, to let go.

Beautiful, Balroop. I love that effect on the water. I can’t wait to visit the ocean or lakes on vacation. Xo

Each stanza has its own bit of beauty. Waves can be so soothing, while they can also be deadly. This is fantastic, Balroop!
Yes, deadly beauty — so true! Thanks for coming over to read it Jan.
a thousand stories linger… my mind was racing with stories as I read each line leading up to that, and I smiled even bigger

Balroop ji, your words brought the sparkle in the water to life. I like the idea of ‘thousand stories/linger on the beaming waves/eager to spillover.
What a lovely thought, Smitha! I am glad the sparkle of words is reaching out. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Made me feel like I was on the ocean with all that depth.
Beautiful writing.
Thank you Jude. I am glad you feel the depth.

What a gorgeous poem. I’d never thought of stars when looking at waves, but now thanks to you, I will. Yes, the way the water reflects, beams, and flows through and around us is part of the eternal energy.
The rising sun creates this magic. I’ve seen those stars many times. 😊 Thank you for coming over to read this Pam.
