Tsunami

Gazing about I chanced
To throw a wayward glance,
Upon a view, sublime,
The Ocean.

I held my stare awhile,
It stretched many a mile,
The silent, subdued clime,
Overwhelming emotion.

About and around were strewed,
Religious rites construed,
Rendered Timeless in Time,
Unwavering devotion.

The fishermen at bay,
Exhausted children lay,
Routine at its prime,
Everyday commotion.

The water rose, a peak,
Its daunting height unique,
Its warning a mime,
Cataclysmic motion.

The water now receding,
Human ego conceding.
Natural the crime.
Poetic Goshen.

    I have to admit that I have looked askance once or twice at the memes doing the rounds in our blogosphere, so I wasn’t immediately sure about whether or how to respond when Dave at Pics and Poems tagged me with the challenge to provide seven unusual facts about myself. I have a couple of secrets to get off my chest though, and that seems like reason enough to participate.
    It is with a certain level of perverse pleasure that I have chosen you to help carry the torch forth. Tell us all 7 unusual facts about yourself and then pass the challenge on to another 7 lucky bloggers. And remember, Dave made me do it.

    Thanks for the tag Brad, I found your answer very interesting. I’ll put mine up in some time.
