[bodytext] => The sea breeze caressing, I lean against a deserted boat, I watch amusingly the Nature’s yet another slide show; The blazing Sun disappearing below the western horizon, Brushing the sky, with a few strokes of crimson red, and Submerging into the sea, to cool off, after a hard day’s work. A few catamarans, swaying precariously, drift towards the shore. Kids shout excitedly, every time the waves break on the shore; I survey thru’ my thick rimmed glass; come into my focus, The boisterous gathering of youngsters having a playful time, The young lovers amorously exposed at not-so-visible places. At this very moment, I feel joyous exuberance all around. *** *** *** “Hello, old man”, a loud voice stirred me from my slumber, A cop is by my side starring at me inquisitively. The cool sea breeze lulled me to sleep, I realize. I get up, holding the extended arm of the beaming cop. I see the beach deserted under the cover of creeping darkness, A few flickering streetlights farther away beacon me; Reverberated with sounds of jubilation moments ago, Now it submitted to eerie silence, barring the unrelenting waves, I move slowly dragging my sinking feet in the sand, Obscure and repelling thoughts stray into my mind, In the twilight of age, I see the ominous sign looming large; Unawares the mortal hour will come any day to terminate, The long and predestined journey of pleasure and pain; And eventually destined I’ll be to travel to a place unknown; Will the mysterious force fling me into a dreadful cell Or usher me into a world of blissful ambience and lasting peace?
