The Craving Wonder
I looked at the sea,
Scanned the pattern of the waves,
Up and down, down and up,
The colour pattern,
Shading from,
Well, Blue to Blue.
I looked at the sky,
Searching for the sunrise,
Looking for the,
Pinkish clouds that,
Swallow the blue sky.
I looked and looked,
But I,
Did not understand,
For I was craving for the wonder,
And thought that,
Wonder is what we see,
But I did not understand,
That the Wonder,
Lies in the heart,
For when the heart,
Opens and grabs it,
One cannot let it go,
The feeling of it.
One might say,
‘You will not forget the feeling’,
I wonder,
Is that true,
I gaped,
Because when we crossed the bar,
We cannot remember anything,
Thence,
It is not a memoire,
It is for that moment,
One brief moment,
As we say,
To enjoy the moment,
Not for memories,
Not to capture in your camera lenses,
That’s the craving Wonder.
