Sitting by the side of a sea,
My legs were drowned upto the knee.
For once I had so many things in my brain.
Then suddenly everything turned blank & plain.

I saw the gushing waves striking the coast.
But the rocks were not ready to break at any cost.
It wanted to make a way through it.
But unable to do that as the force wasn't enough to hit.

I realized my life is going the same way.
No matter how many efforts I lay.
I couldn't find a way to achieve my goal.
Seems like I couldn't achieve that threshold.

But then I saw the waves going back.
Making the string of efforts a little slack.
Then with all the power it could generate
And with the help of stronger waves, it succeeded to penetrate.

It made its way through the hard & stubborn rock.
I was astonished watching this, sitting on the dock.
That day, beacuse of the waves, I was taught,
A beautiful lesson that inspired me a lot.

Sometimes it's not about how hard you try to achieve your goals, it's about when and where to apply your efforts
