My mind a blank slate,
My heart, a placid state,
I wake up, at the break of dawn,
The pillows still damp, I gently tip-toe…
The sound of the ocean beckons,
A drizzle; my drowsy eye awakens,
The waves rising, falling, and rise again-
I stand still, in awe, at the shores…
The sky, the waters, mountains, a hundred shades of grey,
“A thousand hues more, shall unfold, some other day,”
“When you are ready!” – She says, unruffled, unflustered, –
I close my eyes and breathe; spray, salt, petrichor …
A glow, mellow, distant, makes it’s way,
A dog saunters, a bird soars… follows the first ray,
High, high it goes, restores my sunken spirits-
My eyes open now; I gaze, roused, enlivened…
Oh Mother Nature! I’ll fall yet again, I am aware,
Like the waning moon, to rise again , I will dare,
There shall be cheers and there shall be tears-
To Thee, I promise, to fight my deepest fears.
