That Evening!

The urge was as powerful as the magnetic pull
I drifted towards the welcoming sea shore
The sand,still warm from the morning Sun
Felt comforting, like the warmth of a tight hug,
The breeze played with my hair, 
Tossing it gleefully  with flair 
The waves kissed my tired feet
It felt heavenly after the long journey 
As the sun embraced the distant horizon 
Painting the sky crimson 
A sigh left my amazed being
As I stood lost,mesmerized at the spectacle 
Wanting the moment to stand still
But everything is short lived
Problems, difficulties, defeat
The reality dawned on me that evening 
As I stood there ,with renewed vigor ,smiling! 

Journey

Still draped in the mesmerizing moments
Of the rendezvous with my hometown
The sun rays penetrating through the dew drops
Embracing the resplendence all around
Still can see those old roads
Leading to the same portico
That housed my childhood memories
Those sweet shops, that market abuzz with excitement
Just like any other day
Still can breathe the air of those olden days
As if time is standing motionless
Cocooned in cognizance so precious
I feel elated and blessed.
