My senses trudge along a trail nostalgic
I am on my way to travel back in time
and curate an ebullient ecstasy
A sojourn in my teens
in the blissful company of kin
to an island of endless horizon
hugged by sea from all sides
that offered a vast stretch of sun-kissed beach
and swelling echoes of aquamarine
the mighty waves
pitied against white sands
left trailing silhouettes of bubbles
I vividly reminisce
The rapture of tall coconut trees
swinging to the ways of the wind
nodding in affirmation
to the ongoing tryst…
between the shore and the sea
my gypsy soul
recounts with predilection and glee
The long expanse above
with rippling wavy clouds
too had conceived a secret plan
sprung a surprise and enthralled core
by sprinkling celestial splendour
Today… after walking life’s long miles
I sit quietly beside sea’s foamy brims
contemplate going crazy…yet cannot
do not know whether I fail or nature fails
in fetching those towering grandeur and undiluted bliss!
