Profound Thoughts

As I lay down on the sandy shore, I only had myself and nothing more.. I took a grain of sand and felt it in my fingers. Daylight is about to end... I shed a single tear for it seemed that time had already come to pass me by. As I looked beyond the distant horizon, I only see the endless vastness of the sea. I threw that grain of sand I was toying with. But, I could no longer see nor fathom where it had gone. I only heard the roar of the waves... as they move and ebb from the shore only to be silenced by the restless wind. The sea calls for me. I made my way towards its edge. On bare feet, I could sense the unison of the grains of sand sending a raucous feeling down my spine. The sea welcomed me as I waddled through it. Its waves beckoning me to play,tagging me like a toddler seeking for my attention. the grain of sand... the gentle roaring waves... the sea... I am that grain of sand being toyed by the sea with its gentle roaring waves brought about by the restless wind.

I looked outside my window for a new day is about to unfold. Darkness still lingers, yet I feel reassured for I know that a glimmer of hope will soon descend basking everything in divine light. They say that before the first radiant flashes of light are shed in the still placid indigo sky, the world is most pure, chaste and pristine; a time of day when everything seems vulnerable and childlike as their consciousness remain welded to their soul.  I headed towards the fields in anticipation of Sol’s rising. The world seemed to be on a standstill and I felt a bit lonely and forlorn. I spoke out to my angels. Silence was their reply. But this is what I have been longing to hear since it obscures my pain and heals my heart. Not long after, Sol’s light pierces through the purple clouds gradually painting the sky in hues of orange and blue. I then looked at it then closed my eyes to relish this precious moment that will soon come to pass. I searched for my soul, and there I see...

I belong to the wilderness. The mist-enveloped forest, the verdant plains on its outskirts, the spring-fed brooks and streams serve as my playground. Its limits seem boundless under the azure heavens, where only a few drops of rain would seem to dampen my free spirit. Like that of the other countless creatures which call this place home, there is happiness and contentment. I am a denizen of the earth. Day and night I wander around making sure that all those born from it continue to flourish so as to sustain the cycle of life. I am their lifeline and they too are mine. Day is about to turn into night. Lilac clouds, a heat-haze aurora amidst silhouettes emerge from the landscape awash with green, a beautiful chilling sight at daylight’s end. I let out a calm and soothing wind. I could feel a sense of buoyancy, and I know that magic is working on me like a strong potion trapping me in its mystical looms. A feeble breeze tickled my face urging me to go on as if with time I had...

The night is calling… A pale moon rises beyond the distant horizon. Whilst marveling at the wide expanse of the Celestine sky, a brilliant ball of fire lights up… Gently illuminating the path it left behind… I offered a short prayer then uttered a simple wish… As soon as the words left my mouth, so did its light died down… As vast as the space engulfed by the multitude of stars, I just couldn’t help myself think as to how small and puny I am in the greater scheme of things… If my existence could be like that fleeting flash of light, then perhaps someone, somewhere might have had seen it and likewise did what I have done. Paving for myself a gently illuminated path in the celestial firmaments like that falling star from deep space, gives meaning to my existence. I closed my eyes, immersing myself in inner solitude. A fresh breeze billows on my tepid skin, along with it the effused sweet scent of the frangipani. I could hear the chirping of the cicadas and the noise made by the ...
