My Sea

Dickson George 1964 (Kerala)

Free verse
My Sea

The sun rippling the waves
The moon in it's glassy hull
The guide and the hawk
And the ravening clouds
Oh mother, be the sea.

Wind embracing the blueness of the sea
She wakes up as the waves
Waves turned a seagull
Pricking my heart's fish
It flies high and vanishes
Oh love, be my sea.

The drowsy season naps
The black mankind's pater
The depths rowed and rowed
The unseen gold shoved
He is the sea's father
Sometimes
Nightmare in roaring month (karkkadakam.)


The sea is black
The sea is condiment
Sea not confined in the shell is the sea
The sea is mine.
