The Paradox of the Sea

one calm, reposeful day, the wind chimes played a rhapsody of serenity and peace. each zephyr girdled by the ocean's air layered the saltiness onto your skin. a stroll on the esplanade rejuvenated your dehydrated body and soul. like a harbor for reflection, your mind wandered about the limitless horizon, swayed with the coconut trees' branches and reached for the sun against the silky, baby blue backdrop. it was a perfect day to marvel at the world. but, was the world enjoying it's view too? in a contingent episode, nature showed it's demeanor; it's fury ignited by infamy. the unrestrained waters were beckoning, tides were rising and waves caused a raucous that solicited danger. the quiet ambience was redacted, chaos and madness in close vantage. like that, life becomes at risk of desolation, the untainted, crystalline sea waters that created an idyll of a scene shifted to a frame of terror and disturbance. how absurd of nature to decoy a monster from a then- tamed body of water. a phenomenon of a tsunami that can threatened the mere spans of your homeland; an island, a minute dot holding your little world. you prayed that this day never comes.
