The tryst before twilight

as winds whispered tenderly
timidly the waters rushed 
puffed with mirth and froth…
as child to mom ..
pumped agog with pocketed joy

charmed by wind’s whims
rushing waters tumbled gigglingly 
avidly splashing briny spumes
creating fringes many
on the glazing sanded shores

  

Seas never fail to allure me – more so at sunset! It is the immensity, the enormity that initially triggers a sense of pride..a sense of elation – know not why so – in deserts I get a similar feeling mixed with a sense of insignificance followed by nothingness!

Air smells heavy with salt, but I feel light! The waters seem playful all the time …. receding waters cuddled the salted sands and my heart bubbled in joy  ……. the settling roar, splashing foams, the borderless concreteless open space, hued horizon that never seem too far away …..they all fill my senses perfectly hushing away all burdening thoughts …..and filling me with nothingness in abundance!  

I wonder why am I so obsessed with sunsets at seas and photographing them! May be because they satisfy all my seven senses most aptly! May be because they numb my common sense most perfectly! May be because they provide the unfathomable escape route!
