The lonesome sailboat

The lonesome sailboat went out today
To battle, the wind and the sea’s waves.

A tiny body, it has, of wood
All brown and baked as the earth’s crust;
And a massive red, cloth sail
Always, at war with the gusty wind.

The lonesome sailor, rides the high seas
His face parched and wizened with age.

The limpid eyes staring at nothingness,
The little boat quivering to and fro,
Balanced precariously on the crests,
He steers home to the bay’s breast.

About Sonal Singh

I believe that life is a repertoire of anecdotes. The various situations that we encounter, the many incidents of every day, the people we meet, our conversations with them; all make life a melange of tales.And, that is what I attempt to capture through my writing.My cooking is no different! It reflects my love for travel and my love for innovation. The kitchen is my happy place.So, even though by vocation I am a recruiter (www.rianplacements.com), by passion I am a writer, home chef and a hodophile.
