Enchanting Ocean

It was quite late at night when I decided to go for a stroll around the coastal lines, it wasn’t far from where I was visiting. I stayed there till morning and like always it made my mind ponder and here I am trying to pen my reflection. Honestly, I doubt if my words can ever justify the mesmerising ocean and the inspiration it draws for me. However I will give it a go...

The moon in its full grandeur seemed like a perfectly placed crown. Countless bright stars, sparkled like diamonds crafted on an enchanting veil covering the sky. The never-ending view of this mighty yet tranquil ocean underneath graced the magnificence of our mother earth. Oh, I wanted to be lost in that moment forever.

I sat on the rocks watching the captivating view and more often closing my eyes to feel the fresh air kissing my face. I was hardly over the magic of moon over the ocean when in few hours the first ray of sun grinned through the sky.

With the rising sun my hearts contentment also grew. As if each ray is promising me something new. The bright orange colour covered the sky, as if casting a spell and transforming everything around it, making my soul dance in joy.

There is something so magnificent about an ocean, its depth and its unimaginable deeply guarded secrets where it’s calm tides and the music of its dancing waves has a whole different tale. It brings tranquility to my soul and all the predicament of my life to a standstill.  As if whispering in my ears to take a deep breath and live the very moment.

The sound of waves judder’s my mind, making me mull about life. How we complicate our existence whilst trying to find happiness in convoluted things when joy is home to such simplicity.

The roaring wave hitting the wall of the shore keeps challenging its heights.  It returns with confidence and fights the rock walls again and again without giving up, proclaiming that no wall is big enough. Nothing can define its limit and no matter how high or tough the barrier is it won’t stop trying. In life we sometimes underestimate our strength when tough times calls, we give up so easily rather than trying harder.

No problem comes without a solution so why surrender? Why to let others define our weakness when we are born to fight?

Where ever my eyes could travel, I could only see the ocean with no end to it. It’s so vast, so powerful and yet its still tides displayed grace and modesty. When success and power comes to us, we find ways to misuse it and boast about it rather than staying humble.

Why to think low of others or why to judge anyone without walking in their shoes. We should not forget that nothing is forever. We have seen the rise and fall of giant empires and rulers. When the time comes even pride kneels down for mercy and history is witness to it all whereas humility goes a long way.

Despite its might, ocean never stops giving. It feeds stomachs and provides resources to sustain today’s world though we continue to be mean to it. When we have more than others, why our greed continues to grow? Can’t we try to be selfless like oceans? An act of kindness multiplies joy. Life will remain challenging for most of us and all that we need to do is just to look around as inspiration is not far from us.

May our heart too smile and I hope that the magic of this enchanting oceans fills everyone with hope and motivation. Life is too short to live with fear and worries. 

Happy living my friends.
