Soul SpeakâBy the Sea....
By Kanchan Sharma
Like melting gold, spread all across the sea
The hues of the setting sun; mesmerize me..
Slowly, yet steadily; turning into a rich red
The sun comes down upon the vast water bed..
The giggles and laughter of the ocean's tide
Speak a thousand words, as if; in me, they confide
Marvelous as it is, the bond of the sea and the sun
With the whole universe, coming together for their union..
Moment by moment, slipping into the expanse
Savoring each bit, down to the last glance
I stand there in wonder, admiring Nature's grandeur
Until Twilight sets in, and remodels the atmosphere
From fierce to gentle, the wind changes its course
The play of Nature's music, now in full force
My awareness in silence, as darkness takes over
Merges with all that is, in a moment of crossover..
Lingering in this body, my soul wants to flee
To jump up; to the stars, to hop into the sea..
To spread out as the sand and blaze, as the fire
To be the hurricane that it is, embracing its desire..
I feel at peace and overwhelmed - both!
Watching the moon rise, to continue the sun's oath..
'Blessed' is a small word; to express what I feel..
With reverence and admiration, to this universe I kneel.....
