Mystery Poem by Bireswar Halder

The rudder goes crashing into pieces
In deadly whirlpools in the sea
Its difficult to steer on again
I am baffled what to do now.

Fully tired fighting with the billows
Stormy winds tear apart the sails
Thunders with lightning, the night
Makes my mind fully paralyzed.

Cumulus of dark clouds frightens
Frequent surges weaken my boat
The aquatic animals start dancing
Boat gets capsized and I drown.

A plucky fight is on for my survival
But danger looms as the body gets chilled
And its movement quietens slowly
As if I am to wait for my last breath

Suddenly my collapsed body wakes to swim
A dolphin carries me to an isolated island
I wake up and start thinking deeply
Which one is true - the dream or the present?
