Lady In The Night Of Tsunami Poem by Purushottam Sonthi

Lady In The Night Of Tsunami



Awaiting with gloomy eyes, standing on the sea shore,
Praying with perplexed feelings, for him, sailing off-the-shore,
From the promising morning light
Till the frightening darkened night

The lady on that night of tsunami, with raging torrents..
Competing, are her thoughts with endless water currents

Resigning herself, onto this land of no time,
Losing herself in many a thought, into the sands of time,
The childhood times of naughty stealings
The adulthood days of nostalgic feelings

The lady on that night of tsunami, with raging torrents..
Competing, are her thoughts with endless water currents

Recollecting his leaving, that morning into deep sea waters
Toiling, for better living of their sons and daughters
Not knowing, that, he would never return
Not knowing the fate would put her life to a churn

The lady on that night of tsunami, with raging torrents..
Competing, are her thoughts with endless water currents

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I happened to come across one archived article in Google, dating back to 26th December 2004 Tsunami times, that hit the Indian Coast very badly, about the miserable incident of a Fisherman family in Nagapattanam, Tamilnadu, India. Then this poem was composed.
