the battle

i stepped into the sea by my own will
it was pleasant for awhile
the water splashing on my feet,made me at peace feel
and brought on my face a wide smile

slowly the waves started receding
i didnt want them to go
in my heart i was pleading
stop there please dont go

but the waves had a mind of their own
they would not listen to me
they left me there alone
wouldnt listen to my plea

i stared at the wide sea for sometime
i knew that another wave would come to me
but i felt,to leave it was time
i bade goodbye to the sea

but my feet were stuck to the sand below
howmuchever i tried i could not get free
i never realised when so deep i had sunk or how
how couldn't i see

i fought with the sand
and finally pulled my feet out
but the sand was stuck to my feet,like the wounds of my battle grand

and i knew there was only one way out

i had to step into the water again
let another wave wash over me
would i have to pay the same price again
this was yet to be seen............
