A Night Of Contemplation

There is a soothing sound around me,
I wonder,
could it ever be more relaxing?
only if i could hear the stars.

I look at my feet placed on the wet sand,
the sea comes every now and then wetting my feet before it departs again.
I look around, feeling the vaporous breeze landing over my whole body,
feels like i have never been here before.

The sky is dark, atleast brighter than my regrets,
the stars all at once, look at me,
do they know of the terrible deeds that i have done?
I breathe a sigh of relief,
even if they knew,
the melodious screaming of the stars don't reach the earth.

I close my eyes,

The melancholic look that i have on my face,
i wish that the waves of the sea playing with my feet, wash it away.

I think until i overthink,
I wish someone would take me away,
away to the place which no one knows of,
not even me, not even the stars and not even the sea,
I would want the stars with me but they all remind me of the deeds they have watched me doing.

After a while of my feet being shrunken by the salty water, i open my eyes,
I can't help but realise that I'm not alone anymore.

Is that a woman?
I rub my eyes to get a clearer look,
I could only see a woman's silhouette facing towards me,
a layer of a midi dress upon her, slender shapely legs, hands with relaxed palms at her sides,
her lustrous eyes seem to be looking at me.

The more i try to figure out where her feet are at,
the more i can't help but realise that she's at the end of the seashore,
standing above the sea.

The silhouette of her starts walking towards me,
with every step she takes, an inch of her drowns,
she stops, stops as soon as i could realise that she's not a shadow anymore.

My eyes freeze on her as if they know,
they are never going to witness it again.

The midi is blue,
the bracelet on her right arm is gleaming,
her blonde hair is blowing with the breeze,
her feet are buried in the sea while
the sea touches her knees as she's standing still.

Besides those attractive features,
i still can not make out her face,
it's as though,
the moonlight is hesitating to touch her face.

My eyes seem to have lost the sea from their focus,
my feet can't tell if they are still playing with the sea,
i see nothing but her face while i cannot even see her face.

Too stunned to speak,
my consciousness hints that i am awake but i still try to wake myself up,
Is she an angel?
my mind speaks to me,
an earthly woman should not be able to trace the end of the seashore or stand above the sea.

I should not be allowed to stare at such a pleasing figure for too long,
I await something inconceivable to happen.

The moment is static,
the world seems still,
clocks must have stopped,
trees must not be breathing anymore.
is my heart still beating?
the sound of the sea, the only thing alive at this moment has the beats of my heart suppressed.

I try to take my gaze off her to look anywhere else but her,
i wonder,
if a price is to be paid for gazing at something which looks so precious.

I hear a low melodious hum coming from her,
in a flash, my face has forgotten all the expressions it once knew,
my mind has forgotten to think,
only my eyes and my ears have life in them,
while i still try to figure out if my lungs know how to breathe.

Even the melody of the sea has given up while she hums,
of all the sounds my mind knows of, she dominates.

I wonder,
could it ever be more relaxing?
only if i could hear the stars.
what if she's the sound of the stars?

part one ends here.
