Life

Once, walking and wandering around…I ended up going to a seaside….
Staring at the sea….Looking very far…...........
Trying to see what’s on the other side of the sea…......I couldn’t
I was sad….why can’t I…..........
I tried; I jumped up and down to have a look, if my eyes catch up with something…
I saw some birds diving in the sea for their prey….
I wondered would I find something in that depth….and I started thinking on the depth…..of the sea

As I think and kept on thinking….
I went near to the shore…walking and making my way to the place where I will feel no ground
And will drown….........
I was there as that big wave swallowed me in….
And now I was running my hands and trying to make my way out…
And I learned to swim, while I was drowning
I was afraid at first….but as I learned I enjoyed………..I was still in the waves…
Popping up and going down….leaving bubbles….
Then I made my way through the sea bed instead of making my way up…
As a whole new world was there for my waiting……….and now I was drowning….
But in reality I was not drowning…....and I kept on swimming…..

I thought of my prey….ended up with nothing…
Thought of the pearl….which lies beneath….Hidden in a shell for years…
And I saw that my hands move fast………..as I think of the pearl…

I made it my reason…..and started looking for it….
Now I was not drowning, rather I was on my hunt

I was the same as those birds….which were high up in the sky….
But had to dive in water to fly….

As, if they won’t dive….they won’t fly…..The sea has their food. Their energy

And now I was smiling as I was swimming….I was reaching the depth of the sea….
As I saw a shell…and I said to my self…There you go…..................
I felt certain energy and my hands move fast, my feet propelling fast
I was behind that…..

But that shell was flowing on the waves…very fast, up and down, just like life…
Vanishing from my eyes…But I never lost sight on what I was searching for….
I was unable to keep up my pace……….But I was trying hard

To reach it…..it was as if, I am swimming for years
At last I was there….I found the pearl…..
It was in my hand….I can feel it….
And as I tried…...to come up the surface

I was pushed back by a big wave…I tried again…and again…
The same way as I tried when I dived in first…

And at last I was successful and I was popping my head above the sea surface
But to my amazement…..I found myself to the other end of the sea…..
And I was very far from where I started….And I smiled on the waves
I looked up in the sky………I smiled on the sun
And whatever was there covered in the sky’s
And said to myself….
This is life….......................
