In solitude by the sea.

I always believe in the little things life bestows on me. In peace and solitude standing by the sea, waves tickling  my feet I reflected upon the little things that came to me as blessings. They bring me true joy and what came to my mind was the beautiful sunrise and sunsets, though I love the sunset skies more. I feel there is no better joy than watching the sun rise from the horizon standing in the beach, by the sea where the waves  tease me playfully.

The scenic panorama is beautiful at the beach, the birds flying in from all sides, boats returning with their haul, and the gentle sea breeze blowing on my face. It is a joy to stand in the wet sand, digging my toes, enjoying the lyrical motion of the sea, waves dancing in rhythm, blissfully gazing at the sun playing hide and seek between the grey clouds.   The soft sound of the big and small waves, that kissed the sand, seemed as though it was haven for me. Some of my best moments to be treasured in life by just being me, and in the company of nature's miracles.  It is amazing to see the alluring sea and the sunrise. There is something   beautiful about standing still and watching the sunrise as it breaks through the clouds.

Albert Einstein quoted, " The monotony and solitude of a quiet life, stimulates the mind." I feel it is a fact. The monotony and solitude cancer presented me, made me pick up my pen to write again, just to pen down my thoughts, slowly trying to get out of a cocoon breaking the darkness and all barriers. Gazing at the sea I realized, I had become one with nature, what I used to be as a child. The beach and sea  means different to each individual. For some it is painful,  melancholic  memories, while for some it is a get away from the mundane activities of life. For me it is a healer and  a flight of inspiration, though it is the mountains and mist I love a lot.  The music made by the waves is soothing one without words.

The sea soothes all the stress and strain of my life, as I feel one with the tranquility that encircles me. The salty breeze gently whispers, the soft sand molding my feet in a caressing embrace, the lapping waves kiss my toes as they undulate in and out in a mesmeric  rhythm. It is a special pleasure to watch the sunrise and its bright rays peeping out of the  grey clouds;  the sea gulls flying across is  a spectacular beauty to behold.  The foaming sea sprays on me, creating a ripple in my heart as the undulating waves recede with a naughtiness that brings a twinkle to my thoughts. These memories always get etched in the soul forever even when the footprints are erased by the waves. The reflection of the sun and its bright rays in the ripple left by the waves is so beautiful and breathtaking. The golden color reflected by the sea looks like molten gold.

The sea heals the heart mind and soul. It is alluring and charming with a potent power. The sea and the beach is like a therapist, calming the mind that sometimes is full of disturbing thoughts. The sea breeze and the sounds of the waves can be meditative and healing. The tranquility you feel revitalizes me.

Sensuous touch of the sea,
Waves whispering to me,
Enfolds in its embrace,
Stirs my soul,
With eternal joy.

Every grain of sand,
Tells a story,
The voice of the sea,
Speaks to my soul,
Of passions in life.

Undulating waves kiss my toes,
Leaves ripples in sand,
That tingles my feet,
Erases all footprints,
And Casts a spell on me.

The sea calms the mind. look around at the faces near you when you visit the beach.You can read their thought bubbles. It's like each one has come there to unburden his grief,worry or pain or to share some unknown joy with nature and seek solace from the feel of the sea. Nature never disappoints. It fills you with tranquility whenever you go seeking it and yes is an eternal healer too
