They were having a chat while watching the sunset on the sea. All of a sudden he asked:
He: How do you perceive the sea? What occurs to your mind first when you look at it?
She turns her head to the sea and loses herself to it in contemplation, when all the voices and people retreat.
She: The sea is an embodiment of love.
When you are on the surface, you see clearly.
When the wave comes, it takes you down.
As you fall deeper and deeper, you are fascinated by the marvelous colors of reefs and fishes.You lose yourself to beauty more and more.
You can no more see the surface.
Others on the surface can see how it might be contaminated or polluted.
But you can't, since you are already drowned.
You love sinking more & more, no matter what.
You love sinking more & more, no matter what.
While enjoying everything that is deep inside the sea, you may see a snake.
You run away from it and refuse to go to the surface again.
But when it comes nearer and nearer, you either have to escape it to the surface or struggle against it.
If you struggle, you may combat the snake and fall deeper and deeper and enjoy more and more.
If you get bitten, you will go to the surface again.
At this moment, you are taken aback by the contamination and pollution on the surface.
You will insist not to fall down again.
You would prefer to be on the surface with a clear vision and a stable heart.
Here come the waves again, you resist them.
But for a particular wave that you can't help resisting.
You simply surrender to the tide and go down again.
He keeps on looking at her, into her eyes and never looks back at the sea. She turns her head to him and with teary eyes:
She says calmly: Hey, why are you looking at me? I'm talking about the sea. You feel it doesn't make sense! Don't you? Does the sea remind you of anything?
He: I was lost in your expressions and eyes while describing the sea.
You know what! the sea reminds me of your eyes: Blue, Warm, and Calm sometimes; Stubborn and Rebellious other times.
I've just realized, I'm already falling.
I've just realized, I'm already falling.
Oh my God, I can't believe you wrote this.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read this on your blog.
You know I wish you go down with an irresistible wave :p
About the words, I like the fictional way it is written. You make me see you in it. The pictures are marvelous. There is something about it that I can't describe.
Just wanna surprise you with something; sometimes sea snakes are beautiful to watch and play with. Just fall and life will surprise you...
To end this I wanna say something, I feel every word you say. I know about the pollution part, the resistance part and the "falling inspite of all struggles" part, but you know what, the surrendering part is amazing.
love you with all my heart.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo romantic, but what about those, like us, who do not have blue eyes
