Inviting Horizons

I am born for the Sea
Not to stand and stare,
But to go into the deep...

The lilting gleam of the moon
makes me go weak in the knees,
Inflicts me with a swoon...

Limitlessness draws me in...
The constant rise and fall rejuvenates...
Like the waves, Life sweeps you in...

As I rush into the sea
And the waves come and receed...
I try hard to stand firm as the sand give way under my feet...

When the crushing waves challenge me on...
Inviting me to gel on with them
Rise with them and swim towards the horizon...

I feel a glee that of a child...
Coming to the beach the very first time...
And I will always feel this alive and keep on this smile!
