A Wave in the Ocean

By Avantika Vijay Singh

A wave in the ocean...
Here today, gone tomorrow,
Merged with the universe
Absorbed from whence it came.
Such is our life --
Here today, gone tomorrow
To merge with the Universe
Within the blink of a cosmic eye.

Our purpose,
Like the wave,
To create a stir
In the cauldron of the human ocean,
To add to humaneness
And the quality of our community.
That done --
It is time to merge the physical self
with the Universe.

The wave becomes a part of the ocean,
Its energy merging with that of others.
Its presence now a part of the ocean,
Manifesting in each drop left behind.
Each drop energised by the presence that was
Charged and changed deeply
By the manifestation deep within
Beyond the physical self.
