The Beach
I am bored this evening
I don’t know what to do
I like to read
However, my eyes were too tired
I like to hear music, soft music
Nevertheless, my ears are not ready to hear it
I like to make long walk
But my legs are too lazy to make a move
So here, I am at the beach
Lying on the golden sand
Looking at the sea
The simple beauty of the sea is a feast for my eyes
My ears are open hearing the soft music made by the sea waves
My fingers are ready to write on the misted sand
I wrote on the sande
As usual the same words I used to write as a child
‘Sea Mother u failed I win !’
Of course it raised her anger
Of course it raised her anger
I know she cant stand it
A quick, big wave came and wiped the writings
Again I wrote
She came again
That’s fun
From my childhood, I am seeing her
She is here always
At first she is very blue
Then becomes green now she is grey
A lot of pollution in the sea changed her colour
May be she changes her colours with season
Some boats are out there for fishing
They looks like a little black dot!
I always want to see the other end of the sea
I asked Sea mother please tell what is at the end of the sea
A lot of imaginations went to my mind
A lot of countries name sprang up from mind
But she seems to be telling me it is only sea!
The sun has set
It has become a orange ball and sunk into the deep sea!
Oh! sun where u have been gone
The waves has become more sharp
Making new tunes
Stars are now looking at me from the sky
They are glittering and shining
In the blue sky, in the company of moonlight
They are the most beautiful things I have seen
Why the sky is moving from moon
Is it the moon who is moving
I am now truly relaxing
With the company of blue sea and soft waves to soothe me
I am looking at the full moon with lot of stars in the blue sky
I am having so much joy
My legs are now ready to dance.
I started to count the stars
It was becoming more dark
Even in the moon light, I can see the sea
However, I don’t know her colour now
But one thing I know
This is the most beautiful and cherishable evening of mine
I loved it and enjoyed it
This evening is my own
It belongs to me
I earned it!
Thank u sea mother
You made a great difference to this day of mine
I started to walk back to my home with a content smile!
