Rama Balasubramanian Poet Free verse

Ocean

Ocean of life
nurturing many
Multitudinous treasures 
hidden within

Myself a wave
floating atop
Miniscule
Ephemeral

How I enlarge myself in mind
As against flowing with winds

How much do I matter?
Why am I worrying so much?
How much is in my hands?
Surely not as much as I assume

Why not flow along wind
Enjoy the ride to shore and back

Was born in Ocean
Will merge in it.
