Hope~ By Thriveni C. Mysore

Standing before the sea
vastness of enhanced sky 
sends a chill down my spine.
I gaze and wonder how little we are 
in thoughts and deed.

Limits are set, on the limitless
boundaries, human territories
marked to the extremes,
land, air, water even beyond ether,
never to be challenged.

Creatures with fins and webfeet
wading below the wide water
winged birds that fly across,
and other mute spectators pity 
the shrinking globe, silently.

The sun never shies away
to rise on the next day
with unflinching hope that
realization may still dawn on 
frenzied human minds.
