Hi Readers! It's been long since my team has been telling me to write something or publish a poem which i have written recently, though it's devoid of all the poetry formate. I have been idle for quite a long time. Today i thought why not, so here i am and this is me... well well don't go too far it's not Bryan Adams song! I have just given my thought to a poem about our team, hope you all like it and here it goes "THE SIX".


The Six


 Set out on Sails
The team of “Six”
Into the blue ocean!
Making a history of its kind
With a smile as they sail.

Flagging the nation’s pride
To circle the globe!
A responsibility to comply
For the challenge undertaken!

“Six” blend the team,
From all region of the country.
Into the mercy of weather
Advanced with a baby step
As they grow in their service.

With a little known ‘sea-leg’
Here goes the “Six!”
To the known unknown
Exploring a marine life
With their spirit held high.

Enthralled with adventure
Something different from the norm,
With a desire burning bright
Within the heart of these “Six “
To see the world yet unknown!

Now in the hands of Nature
Here Sails the “Six”
With their wits and wise
Braving with the waves
Gushing through the winds

Mystery yet to unfold
And time binding stories
As the “Six” sails deep
Into the no-men lands’
Of the deep blue ocean!

Hello Super Six there!
It would be early morning there in Austraila. It is evening here in Colombia.
This is Vishnudas Chapke, overland circumnavigator. Another day, Ms Himi passed me the link.
It was good to read your poem. Please keep on writing. Your writing has a flow like river water.

It was nice to visit your blog. one of the line in a blog Water, water everywhere (Nor any drop to drink) reminded me poem “ The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Look forward to see you in India.
Come with wind and tide.
Regards
Vishnudas Chapke

BEYOND YOUR HORIZON

Abstract: This is a poem especially written to celebrate the INSV Tarini : Age of Sail - our six Indian women naval sailors’ team, serving in Indian Navy, the adventurous circum navigation. Since they are in the final leg of circum navigation, about to reach the motherland, just away from 2240 nautical miles (4148 km) , about to reach Goa , her home port to where they started the adventurous voyage . The poem is inspirational, yet ceremonial and defining their strength, valour, and commitment towards their mission. The poem is actually portraying the Mission accomplishment mood of six women crew, who have faces doldrums of Sea, the cold –fronts, strong gales and their pleasure in pathless sea, gushing through the winds.

The poem is also in one way defining the women empowerment, especially to those to male dominated society and community, who think women are weak, and have no dares to such risky adventures , or ready to face any obstacles. So reminding that fact the women powers are infinite and nobody can measure their limits. Exceptionally, written to portray the valour, and histories arch out Across the Boundaries!! Let us remind to those who think women are not made to compare the men will and have thought of “BEYOND YOUR HORIZON” .


Up above in the blue sky
Shall have mine superfluous way
Ready to fly wider and higher
Shall have no boundaries to limit!


And remember nobody dares
To bolt or clip my wings
For I have stopped to care
To those who don’t sings!


Beyond your ample reach
Shall have mesmerizing beach
Ready to sail for noble serve
For no fears touch mine nerve!

Somewhere to no man’s land
Shall be captivating art of island
And remember, not to hit mine ship
For…we six have grit to whip!


And let you never forgot
Shall be liable to shot
And beyond your sight…waving
For that day might be …saving!

Leaving behind the footprint
For soon in time have media print
And Beyond your Horizon
Shall have mine own Zone!


Dedicated to rocking team of INSV TARINI, written in mood of proud and waiting to celebrate the moment at her home port, GOA soon!!
