An ode to Lt. Cdr. Abhilash Tomy

Restless in the legs
I love the everyday's challenges
For what they bring up in life;
i embrace the survivor's strife.

 Why me, when there were so many?
Creator brought me up here so tiny
Here I am! To fulfill what holds the destiny.
I have set sail - a journey called life.

In the stillness of time,
Neither do I think of the future
Nor do I brood over the past.
The process of discovering what I am not
What has been told and sold
I challenge everything I tightly hold.

 Every notion and belief,
I have pushed it against a watery wall
A pack of cards, apart it fell
Notion or the wall?
It is your call.

 Tossed by the mighty fury of the ocean
The mind swept away by the rhythm of the waves -
Kindling, caressing and relentlessly pounding.
The boat that was my life -
In the hugeness of the ocean – is it a speck? A shard?

 Soaked in the elements of Nature;
Submerged in the bliss of the Self
The oceans have rewarded its treasure
To the Explorer -who sacrificed all the petty pleasures.

I set sail, in a boat in high seas
I returned, with the oceans within me.
My experience, for you I sum up

Raise the sails
Catch the winds
Ride the waves
Go explore yourself!

For you are the oceans
You are the winds
You are the Creator
Of your own Universe.
