Horizon's Silent Grudge

By Rhea Divekar 

As the sea gazes at the sky
Waves slowly lapping at its surface 
It begins to wonder why 
Comparing its every detail 
To the sight above it, colors vivid and bright 
Cotton like clouds, hues of light
Jealousy begins to set into the sea 
Wondering why its plain blue surface 
Doesn’t compare to the sights it wishes to be 
A reflection, it remains 
In hopes to capture divinity 
All it wants to be is beautiful 
Reflecting the sky, disguising the pains 
They paint it, write poems and admire with awe 
As they stare up at the sky with love 
A bitter feeling within
Wishing it could look stunning being raw 
Yet the sea remained unaware 
That the sky was lonely 
Wishing for life, beyond compare 
Similar to the ocean, creatures within 
Ripples of adventure, myriads of colors 
Hiding underneath its azure skin 
The sky was empty, forever will be the same
Attempting to mimic the ocean with its blue shades 
Simmer of envy 
The guilt becomes blame 
And as times goes on, eternity begins 
The silence continues 
Blind to their beauty
Blind to their wins 
Two genuine souls, envy and rage 
Lightning and thunder, towering tides 
The same story written in different fonts 
On both sides of the thin page
