Mechanical drone,
Of towering cranes.
Rushed & ruffled,
Cars & men;
All busy, all at work,
To make the city,
A bit bigger, louder.
And then in the distance,
The restful swish,
Sea collides with shore,
Gradually becomes the sky;
Proud & poised,
Looks in disdain,
At the pointless bustle on land.
PS: Incidentally, I've got one of the best seats in my office; the view is out-standing!

Wow, your view seems to be better than mine :-)
A window seat on the 15th level of a sea-facing tower :)
Beat that!!
Wow, thats a good seating.
We are trapped in the basement, and the lab which is on the 2nd floor in in the centre of the building with no windows. There could be a major winter storm outside or it could be a bright and beautiful sunny day, but we wouldn't know anything!
But then you aren't missing much these days....bright sunny days in calgary are still some time away, aren't they? :)
As a matter of fact Radha, Calgary is one of the brightest cities, 90% of the days are sunny. It might be very very cold and there might be a lot of snow, but it is mostly sunny! :)
Although today it is snowing and it is not sunny. :(
nice post, i looked out of my window immediately after reading ... brick building contemporary colonial, go figure, old style street lamp posts, a big tree with no leaves and everything else snow coevered, so well yeah, sea and all that is sorta fun :)
i am quite a fan of your blog, do visit it often, so thought i would leave a message today.
i am typing from our current living room, just finished giving an interview........wanna trade places with moi?? haha!!
love that poem, Radha......:)
hey are u describing those huge tall machnices that are drilling for oil. I just loved looking at them, there's something so majestic about them, though some people thought they were an eyesore.
Jas,
Really? Well, in that case enjoy the sunshine :)
Padma,
welcome to petty-change :)
And the view from your office seems interesting too :))
Moi,
Job-hunting is not the most fun activity in life; but trust me things only get better from there :)
Suramya,
Hey, long time! Well, actually the view from my desk consists of a huge constrcution site in the foreground & the sea in the background. The construction site by the way, is meant to be Singapore's first casino.
Beautiful poem! A sea-facing tower...wow.. you must be enjoying one heck of a view! Wanna trade :screaming:
Happy Reader,
Thanks :)
Tell me what the view is like from your window & then maybe I'll consider switching :))
