An open sea to wander!




Out there in the open ocean, a rudderless ship wanders unwary
With no one but the stars to guide, it sets its own course of glory.
Ignorant of the impediment ahead, it glides on the waves of the ocean
Before it could gather its might, it suffers an aggrandized collision.

Stranded alone on a deserted island, it ponders over its current situation
With thousand broken pieces to mend, it looses its only conviction.
While hanging on a sporadic hope, it stops itself from breaking down
Shifting the tone of its mind to more optimism, it gives life an another try.

Piece by piece it mends itself by gathering timber from the forest
With garnered courage and hope, it is ready to set on a new voyage.

  1. Doesnt matter how many pieces!
    Doesnt matter how many collisions!
    Gather again Rebuild again.
    For one who puts everything he got
    To achieve something,
    The journey to glory may overshine the goal itself.
    Lots of love

  2. And she sails again!!
    In the darkness of sea when the fiercest tempest hit.
    The horizon
    Lit by the scintilla of last lightning streak.
    A ship on sail can be seen.
    I wonder,
    Is it The Rudderless Ship?
    Aye, it's the rudderless ship!

    btw, wonderful piece Mandal. Never knew, you could write so well. Glad to read it!

    Bon Voyage!!
