Sitting on a rock, observing the splendid panorama stretched
wide in front of me, I got so much lost that uneasiness caused by the uneven
rock was not accounted for once. I lost the track of time and dived in the
mysterious beauty to unravel and devour every piece presented. A view so
captivating that I stood alone in my moments of seclusion, ignorant of the life
and activity that surrounded me. It was the first time that I found myself surrendering
my person in exalting such a magnificent sight, a beauty bewitching to a degree
to hold glance forever and the more I gazed in wonder the less it was to say
that I was falling in an unending pit of admiration. I had been there many a
times but didn’t open my eyes to give it a thoughtful look to know exactly what
I had been missing out. I devoid myself from such an amazing experience! More I
thought about it more I had to regret.
The splendor of the view I was witnessing was unfathomable;
it had the richness and detailed distribution of colors as if every speck of it
was made with utmost care and concentration, a beauty of its kind work of
divine, a masterpiece by none other than the Greatest Creator of all, an
adornment for Earth and a blessing for its residents. Yes! I was beholding
water, blue and huge, magnetic in its pull, soothing for eyes and mesmerizing
enough to engage mind. It was soon that I left my harbor and ventured on a
journey of exploration from a close distance. As soon as a gentle wave caressed
my feet, an electric impulse travelled up to the brain, triggered the emotions of
love and joy that alleviated the sufferings and uplifted the mood like I was
rained over by a cloud of peace and with my eyes closed I drenched myself until
my soul was penetrated by solace. The
melodious waves had a different story to tell, whispered in my ears about epic
tales and undiscovered mysteries, for no one knows what lies in the depth and
how much it can hide and hold, while the wind played with my hair. Together
they made my heart moved and soul sat on fire. I was completely absorbed in the
playful act of waves and wind, and I stayed in that position till I had my fill.
The Sun round and bright, hung at zenith
illuminated the waters beneath, the surface was appearing as a mirage of a silver
dust skimmed over; caught my attention afterwards. The sky was clear as it
should be on a midsummer day, giving an impression of a large blue curtain
drawn over a blue floor. Far away at my sight’s limit I was clueless to distinguish
between the two. It was a place where two blues meets, the Horizon.
For hours I stood there and observed the horizon whereas
soft currents were cuddling, air invigorating and everything was contributing
to overhaul my mind, body and soul. It was then some foreign thoughts visited me associated
with this place, which I had read or heard. From literature to science, sea is
covered and discussed at length. Among those I contradicted with the negatives
as I am of the opinion that ,"The sea is a source of inspiration for those who
are in distress, the waves send a message of constantly trying in unison to
achieve a goal, the wind says not to underestimate one's power to change the
direction of the sail at any point in the journey of life, the water as a
symbol of purity persuades that a positive good life is a product of pure mind
and soul, and the horizon conveys that as long as one can imagine there is no
limit whatsoever."
The sky was turning into shades of red orange and yellow,
the glorious sun was sinking into horizon. I witnessed a beautiful sunset, one that I had never seen in pictures and movies. It was the time when I had to say bye to
that amazing scenery. With love in my heart and treasured memories in the gallery
of my mind, I departed with these lines on my lips:
"O sea O sea! I love thee,
In thy beauty, I find glee.
In thy thought, troubles flee,
In thy arms, I seek lee.
Here I leave, with a vow,
Of making each visit, like now."
