Life Spent All Alone

In the middle of sea, in stormy nights,
amidst the fiery water, I floated;
Neither a bright morning nor a night light,
amazed me, I was wholly devoted.

Dancing dolphins, colorful coral reefs,
had never convulsed my linear path;
I had never pondered upon relief,
even in the ferocious waves of wrath.

Fabled shades of red,umpteen shades of blue,
strived distracting my way, hindered vision;
Though traversed through the exquisite routes new,
nothing enchanted me as my mission.

When the mission was done, I perceived back
I was alone and all done but joy lacked
