Poem 'Adrift' in Writer's Ezine got chosen for their Exceptional poem award.

Happiness is ....getting a prize when you never thought of even entering a contest..Getting published itself was happiness.The second email containing a certificate was a surprise to say the least.Writer's Ezine deserves a lot of good words for 'making heard', new voices and new thoughts...And of course to think of compiling the collections every few months into a print version.



                                                                         Adrift

 I sailed, I sailed

Like a little boat adrift

Sailing away from streets, cities, homes;

Far from the fake love of mortals

The waters were taught by the master

To carry with true love and placid joy

I sailed, I sailed

On his wondrous sea

To the silent shore;

I sang, with all my heart, I sang

I breathed enough air on this wondrous sea,

Till the green shores appeared,

With its peacock colored hills

And white jagged rocks;

I felt the people giving a funeral behind

Superfluous, for I was proud to die,

To untie the strings of my soul 

And to drift, adrift! 

In the little boat to sail!
