LOVE SAVES THE DAY

Like how majestic things have always attracted me, the waves called out to me, loud.
Water, as we already knew, has been a glorious reason which never failed to lift my spirits.
And I had never learnt to say “No” to what could easily destroy me.
It was the time and place we had always longed to be.
The perfectness of our union, our esprit de corps was enviable.
And as you sat there looking loved, I paid no heed to the concern in your tone.
Alas, I was the kid and you were grown.
I knew that mirth on your face is something I would never live without.
I drifted merrily, enjoying the pull as you were trying to balance us out.
Your caution was trivial for me before the alluring sea.

And horrifically, my destiny called with forceful glee..
As I got swallowed in bits, the ashen look on your face was something I feared seeing because that meant your grip was loosening.

I was slowly disappearing into the wicked wrath of that ill-fated destiny..
I knew I deserved abyss.
But wasn’t I too young to take leave?
Wasn’t there some more time for me? For ‘we’?

The destiny you craved for moved away, afar.
And my promise was breaking into a million shards.

So why was I smiling?

This couldn’t be right….
I couldn’t bear to see us part, to see you break.

How could I innocently give in to the might of the ocean, for all you had ever taught me was to stay strong, with you?
But I could feel the tug; my minuteness inside the gigantic sea was evident.
I had to fight for this love.
My face still had the sparkle of a tot on a beach; because you had always taught me to smile, when it hurt the most.
So there I was, fighting, to make you believe.
I was screaming within, I couldn’t go away, never.
Not from the spirit of my life.
Oh, but this just couldn’t be right….
Please take me where I belong, Jehovah ,not with You, yet, but where I was rightfully meant to be, at this place, in this time, in the center of ‘our’ Universe.
This couldn’t be right….
My lungs felt the harsh salinity.
Gasping was never this difficult.
Swoosh.
I wasn’t floating. The fight probably ended.
Ahh, but this wasn’t meant to be.
Swoosh.
Warmth.
Strange, why fire felt cold.
Inferno wasn’t supposed to be this way, I had been told.
This couldn’t be right….

And it surely wasn’t..

I was facing reality.
But reality, for once seemed like bliss. Just like how it felt at the lips of my paramour.
But what was real and which was the dream?

Strange.Chimera.Karma.

I was smiling, at daybreak. Yet again.

There could be only one reason for that.

The hand of God floated, my eternal ray of sunshine flooded through the window and rescued me into his strong arms, which would be my true destiny, interminably.
