Wounded Warrior
Sitting amidst sand dunes,
From the ocean shore,
I watch sunsets so keenly.
The parading of colours ~
Yellow, orange and red,
One after the other,
On the canvas of the sky,
Reminds me of the scene
Of a fierce battle field.
The blood-stained red sun,
Moving down in slow motion,
Towards the west, into the sea
Appears like a warrior,
Wounded all over his body
Fighting the whole day.
He seems, readying himself
For his burial under the ocean.
Birds flying helter-skelter,
Towards their destinations,
Appear to be crying aloud,
Over the demise
Of their light giver.
