A Solace

Life was easier before,
Until you tagged along,
On the shores, green mosses,
Lichens that I could see through,
A hefty dive into the ocean,
I thought my heart blew,
Then a sudden- “Hi, How are you?”
I nodded, smiled and walked away,
I sat on a huge, cold rock, overseeing the white ship,
A gentle breeze whistles in my ears,
I lie on my back, and watch the sky,
Dark clouds juggling around the bright sun,
The sun tries to penetrate through them,
Fails, succeeds, and fails again,
Blue sky no longer exists,
I closed my eyes, and take a deep breath,
All I could hear smooth tides hitting the rock-bed,
My heartbeat slows down,
I pretended I could see everything,
Three little kids playing on the shore,
Jumping in and out of water,
Their screams, laughter reminds me of my childhood,
I strolled down the beach for a while,
To find a place where I hide,
My emotions, feelings, and the tears,
I gather immense pleasure in my solitude.
