The calm of the hinterland attracts me. It gives me a break from the oceanic life. Being the captain of a ship is not exactly a cakewalk, navigating to beat the winds and whirlpools.
Nature manifests
inner turmoil, and gifts
counterfoils
A holiday in a wild life sanctuary was all that I needed for peace. Who knew that I will meet the love of my life, a tribal beauty? Now, to convince her parents and mine ….
The prerogative
of making the best choice
is always human
Will she, won’t she adapt to my lifestyle? What if the tsunami of passion ebbs in the middle of the ocean? What will happen, when life takes me back to the civilization that I am addicted to?
Rain or sunshine
uncertainty prevails in
life and nature
cloudy skies direct
all my deliberate steps
