V. J’s weekly challenge: ” What pulls on your soul?”

Away from the rut of the mundane
as the wandering thoughts settle,
clouds of chaos dissipate
when all the noise is silenced,
I sit alone by the sparkling blue ocean
watching the tidal waves ebb,
soaking me with candid conversations,
washing away my wistful woes.
The nascent rays of dawn
usher in a promise of hope.
I hear their unspoken words.
The sublime sounds of solitude
wrap my soul in a tranquil embrace.
Beautiful ❤️

Beautifully written and expressed Radhika! The sea is indeed something so vast and mysterious, and we do small in comparison that we tend to lose all pretence in its presence I think. The best place to be at peace, contemplate or just while your time away is a peaceful seashore, in a beautiful dawn, before the crowds start filling in 🙂

The current state of mind that I am in,I look for nothing but solitude. I loathe the chaos of everyday life.
I often think of visiting the sea,but cannot go due to the hectic schedule that I have. We all are in some way or the other,caught up in a rat-trap.
