Cataclysm

Water closed me in from behind Water slowly spread to All directions I moved No, I was not alone People thronged from all sides Panic writ large upon the faces I spotted some familiar Though they seem not to care for me The sky threw up Dull subdued light The shades of which I see for the first time I kept walking The faces no longer around The water that initially Touched my feet playfully Now came up to my knees My conscious self felt a mild furor My surreal self, as cool as The waters closing in from all sides Everything around moved At its decisive pace… As one eon began to fade Slowly and steadily The surreal surroundings Echoed with the notes That flowed with ease Form the flute… Whoever said cataclysm Comes as a jolt with fire Emerging from depths of the oceans? 16 Oct 2010 05.10hrs
