Her Destiny…!

The oceans were calm. Winds were silent. Not even a little bird tweeting in the near by tree. Excitement of the beach seemed to have been carried away by the tidal wave, appearing to be moments after a disaster. Suddenly some one walked by, dragging her self along the beach. She appeared to be coming from a dance. Drenched and tired, as if she danced all night long and now was longing for moments of peaceful sleep. Sleep forever.

The red shiny gown hung beautifully on her body. Heave hair over her shoulders looking soft and graceful. Eyes all simmered and black. The eyeliner and mascara told the story of her tears that came down last night. Yet the deep chocolate brown lipper made her lips look full and fresh. There was a faint smile on her face with a glow that denied all that her eyes said. She walked bear foot. Held her heals in her hands as she walked. It was more of a drag like she was pulling a sack of clay all along. The dress curved out every inch of her. Revealing the secrets she would other wise hide. One would say she was a perfect lady, lady to the Prince Charming.

She took a turn and walked perpendicular, directioned towards the sea. Slowly, with eyes wide open and gazing. She was seeing through the unknown, her vision penetrating deep, deep into nowhere. She walked silently each step taken so carefully. Counting her every breath and smiling as she approached the sea.

Her eyes were getting dull and smile was broadening. Then serene water touched her feet. The water was cold as ice. The feel of water at her feet made her giggle deep down her throat, without a sound to wake the sleeping sand. She walked deeper into the waters. Destined and determined with a clear goal in her mind, a mind that had no doubts, no worries or thoughts. She was just so confident of every moment that would come along. Focused and shinning bright.

The waters touched her knees now. The joy filled her heart. The dullness of the eyes began to melt. As she walked deeper down her eyes started to glitter like a diamond. She definitely was the maiden from the paradise. There was a keen desire in her eyes now as the water filled her. Confident to grab her dreams in fractions of time she kept moving on Deeper into the sea.

The sun was drowning behind its horizons. So were the moments of the shine of her eyes. In a few minutes the sun dissolved into the skies leaving behind the colours of red and orange. The entire beach waited for the darkness to come over and conquer. The night made its victory, not realizing that it has to fight the light once again.

This is one of the many I had written when I was in my collage, around mid 2004 or early 2005. I can’t really remember. Those were the days I wrote a lot. May be because I dreamt a lot. First love, new life. I was like a free bird with long wings. Sky was my limit. Imaginations were my best friend and I enjoyed being all by myself. Thanks to my dad I inherited this poetic and philosophical side from him and thanks to my mum, for being so strict and giving me all the opportunity of being alone; else I would have spent all my time with friends.

I have a strong desire to continue writing this short story and give it a complete form. It seems a bit difficult in the world I am… may be I’ll hibernate soon and write something to make me feel good again.

Thank you for stopping by
