Rhythmic Rhymes

The sea waves gently sweep over my feet, At one end the water and the sky meet, Into the sea the sun goes for his daily dip, And from behind the clouds the glowing moon peeps. Slowly as increases the tide, The ghost of yesterday walks beside, Hand-in-hand along it walks, About my bygone past we talk. Some lovely moments or fights with dears, Good or bad memories flooding my eyes with tears, Triumphs and disasters both had a place, Gone for the moment but left behind a trace. Achievements which made me and my family proud, Regrets being personal buried under a shroud, Exhilarating moments when dreams came true, And bouts of realization with lessons learnt new. People came and left but life moved on, In vain each time the heart was torn, Some strickening moments giving sleepless nights, With the heart and the brain engaged in a fight. Many moments of pleasure came at times, And went away leaving behind happy smiles, Gave small reliefs...

As the sun dips low into a haze, A gentle breeze blows & tickles my face, I relax my forlorn face into a smile, Forget all my troubles for a while. I slowly get out of my thoughts' trap, Let myself fall into the nature's lap, Its a pleasant weather with a chill in the air, My most favorite season winter is here. The pinkish sky & the almost set sun, Capture my attention on the horizon, Pretty chirpy birds are seen there too, Flying away to the tree tops few. A cold gust of wind blows into my face, With great joy, against the flow I race, It freshens me up and clears my mind, In the company of nature happiness I find. That's how nature in our lives plays a role, Offering solace to the forlorn and wounded souls, Every sight of nature on my wounds is a balm, And I return to life's battles rejuvenated and calm..
