Yesterday I sat at the seafront for hours with a friend. It was oh so refreshing and thought provoking. So I immediately snapped a photograph of it. Later my dear blogger friend Namrata gave me an idea to write something based on the photograph. As I put to paper my thoughts, here's what I came up with.
**
Rocks of solid glittering gold
Immerse in the waves
A froth of white surrounds.
Waves engulf another, yet can't hide,
The beauty of the sinking sun.
**
I stand below the sinking sun,
The waves they beckon me.
What is it that troubles you? They ask
What is it you seek?
**
Oh how a cloudless day it was,
As you and me stood upon the shore.
The waves they seemed to reflect my mood.
White crashing joyously against the gold,
A prelude of the days to come,
When in marriage we would unite,
Me, a blushing bride in white,
You, stood with a ring of gold.
**

DeleteAll of the three. Each one has got a very different thing to say. I am feeling a little down today, so the second one I can relate the most to. However, the third one speaks of the lovely dreams and aspirations. First one defines the photograph the best. You see I found each one very special and beautiful. :D
