It felt as if I was detached from my person
Strong as though I levitate
My senses suspended their duties
How free I felt
As out of earth
As I left the bustle to still waters,
An aura of celestial feel possessed me
My demons were lulled in the evening breeze
A deft touch of quiet in my head,
My bride of tranquillity
The sea roared and glared
But not a sound I heard
And my senses became suspended
Two living beings I'd become now
Check mating one another to find a tie
Inhaling the sweetness of the sea breeze
Legs crossed and arms outstretched
I voraciously devoured the peace nature offered
Savouring the aroma of twilight
With no thoughts of the morrow
My bride welcomed me home
Summarising how I perfectly placed junks in my home
Disclosing how handicapped she is without my willful consent
I cajoled for her guidance
For alas my home is my mind
Wishing this feeling would last for eons
I kept still like an opossum
The other being craving to nick in
I'm not giving in to the bustle me
I'll tread the sands of this serenity for eternity
