Over The Sea

I am gliding n' floating over the calm sea Where there is nothing but vacancy Before me stretches the infinite space I am in no hurry to move in a brisk pace Forward and forward, leisurely I plow Over the ocean's tranquil flow Soon a storm brews And a terrible scene ensues Winds howl, waters wobble and rise And my vessel is about to capsize It is bobbing over the merciless waves Now my mind in acute agony raves Waves after waves come crashing They seem hell bent on crushing I hear the rising wind whistling They sound like funeral wailing I look up to the graying night sky Like coils of smoke, my prayers rise high I have a premonition, my boat is about to wreck But to my relief I see a luminous speck Amid dark clouds, I spot the evening star It seems to commune from far 'Never give up hope, steer your course Dispel all fears and apply your force' With renewed vigor and pluck Lifting the oar I strike I feel my pulse quicken And the fury of the winds slacken Now I steer my course through the sea Knowing life is never hassle free Battling with the hostile elements I am bent on conquering all impediments
