Beauty, memories, lessons
Languish in the heart;
Some places, like people
Are completely unforgettable
They own a piece of our heart.
The mighty, roaring sea waves
Lashing against the trees
Reminded me of the storms
That hit my life time and again
Patterns wavering, the pain not.
On a second look at the scene
The beauty became vivid to my eyes;
It instantly rang a bell within
Can chaos be beautiful?
Isn't Nature at times, beautifully chaotic?
The waves, the trees, the beach
Unfolded a new vision that day
The Henry Island turned a new page
I learned the universe is full of chaos
And that chaos can be a beauty.
Henry Island is a remote island some 130 kilometers from Kolkata. I visited the place last winter and the place definitely got imprinted in my heart. Sharing some more pictures of the place:

Nature made chaos is fine but human made chaos is unacceptable. I like your thoughts in this. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Indrani. Thanks :)
DeleteSo true what ou say about nature And the chaos resides within us too. Lovely writing and photos.
ReplyDeleteExactly Myrna. Peace is too hard to last forever. We live with chaos and once we accept that chaos is beautiful, our lives will be beautiful too. Thanks a lot :)
DeleteChaos is beautiful only after the storm settles down. Either it be the chaos in nature or the chaos in hearts. In the meantime,,everything seems to be lost. Very intense feelings and beautiful lines Purba. Loved it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so true, Dipanwita. In the meanwhile, we lose sense of using rationale, logic and philosophy. We are just lost.
DeleteThanks a lot dear :)
