As It Sets...

It has completed its visit for the day..a mere stationary spectator to all the actions of the creatures inhabiting the sphere! It is now time to descend..the otherwise "hot glowing mighty ball of fire" seemed to timidly smile at me as it waited to be engulfed by the endless stretch of blue waters..A little orange dot in the sky after a long day leaves my sight sinking deep down to the lowest depths of the sea. The crowd slowly starts to return back to their lives having watched the sunset, light slowly fades away...darkness sets in. 


But I refused to leave. The departing sun seemed to pull me down along with it. The white big and small crests that formed at the distant crawled up to the shore moistened my feet and fleeted back. The warm breeze with a cold touch struggled to make its way through my entangled hair..the breaking waves asking me that one thing..what am I trying to run away from? The crowd,the people,or the reality.. I seemed to have no answer. I wasn't running away I said to myself. I was just being me with myself. Reality is a monster, one cannot run away from it even if one wishes to..it will keep crawling back to you reminding you of its presence.. And sometimes when I find it difficult to come in terms with it I sink deep into me with just "me". 


The tranquility, the solace, the isolation...the deep silence beyond those roaring waves, they amaze me so much. When sometimes nature can be such a great company when you seek nothing else beyond just your own self. Very gracefully the drapes were drawn in the sky as the lights faded away.. The sky decked up with the beautiful mother moon and her thousand little glittering children!! I never realized how long had I been strolling down the beach..and i looked back..those footprints I have left behind..some washed away some still there.. It was like looking at me treading the path of life sometimes faltering when I lost track of reality..those were the moments washed away with time..


Now again when I have found myself, leaving behind the rest of the world I fear of the times when i have to return back to it all over again.. Its amazing how this mute nature can be such an amazing reflection of your thoughts. Every element of it seemed to be voicing its thoughts to me...


One last time feeling the cool moist waters as it kissed my feet..I picked up a sea-shell in memory of this lovely evening I spent with nature,one last look at the mighty waters with the white toppings!!... I turned to walk..walk towards the city..to reality..not to look back and get lost in the crowd being one of them again..


In the distance somewhere down that "me" still seemed to stroll along the shore maybe seeking the horizon which she hopes to reach someday!
