I penned ‘That perfect spot on the beach’ last week while enjoying my vacation. It was a solo trip, a first since 2014 when I last travelled across countries in Europe.
I started writing way back in 2006 but my commitment and focus towards writing all these years was at best inconsistent. This year, I have fully embraced my identity as a writer – I am someone who loves to write and express my feelings through words. Consequently, I have been writing and publishing consistently for the last 7 months and a paper and pen accompany me most of the times. This allowed me to capture my thoughts while I sat in a secluded spot on the beach.
I travel a thousand miles to find,
that perfect spot on the beach
–
to meet a part of myself,
that otherwise feels difficult to reach
–
I look at the waves with wonder,
perhaps they have a lesson to teach
–
keep flowing where the wind takes you,
don’t care about what they preach
–
What do I yearn for though,
Is a wall I struggle to breach
–
I keep looking within and outside for,
that perfect spot on the beach
