The View

I loved travelling alone

To the dusty beach

With just my phone

And dressed in peach.

The solitude gave me happiness

And some crazy thoughts.

The waves washed the mess

Which had turned into naughts.

The view of the sunset

Gave me sparkling hopes.

The cold gentle breeze

Embraced me with its invisible hands.

The flying sea birds

Made way to their homes.

The energetic children

Came back to their folks, exhausted.

I stood there for some more time

Enjoying the peacefulness of the beach

Thinking about my busy life

Without any company, without any peers.

Finally, I silently walked through the sands

To the world of corporates

Without any regrets, without any complaints

With immense confidence, with immense joy.
