Ripples of the sea
Something is coming and it is unforgiving; something is coming and the doorbells are ringing. I stood across the mountain watching with courage wrapped across my throat, I look to the east but nothing was there, I looked to the west but nothing was there and my heart began to fear, I know that something was coming but I could not tell from which direction it would appear, and I kept waiting.
The sky began to get dark, and I could hear something rumbling in the dark, it was the sound of the wind that had the trees in the forest whistling and I kept waiting. In the midst of such fear, my eyes kept looking everywhere but no one was there.
The beaches were empty and not a sight of human presence could be seen around, but something was moving in the air, and the tension began to rise. not one bird could be seen, the trees were green and everything was still. Suddenly the sun appeared from behind the mountain, and I heard the beating of drums and engines rolling in the distance.
I climb a little further up the mountain and stood on a rock to have a better look of what was going on, and the cloud starts fading and the skies was bright and I could see the light. As the ship gets closer a great jubilation engulfs the air sending ripples of joy everywhere and my heart join the melody.
Four ships came in from four different directions, bellowing the carnival rhythm and the people began to sing. The beaches come alive, and people the storm the beach from everywhere, and spread-out mats, and towel, beach umbrella and erect canopy in the sand with the help of a strong man. Immediately the city of make belief eroded the scene and spread the bliss of my dream and I felt the ripples of the sea moving through the door and embraced me on the shore.
People dressed in various fashion and colors appears out of nowhere; it was like the heavens courting paradise on earth and the shore was filled with joy and the people wave giant flag in the wind and dancing to the rhythm of modern time that emerge from the heart of mankind.
Lovers and couples spread out on the beach, wrapped in towels and sheet dancing to the rhythm that is so sweet. The wave washed up on the shore, and I could see my face in the clear blue water and people swimming and playing in the sea. The ripple of the sea wants you to be come and join my company near the sea, I have a nice surprise waiting for thee, ripples of the sea is speaking to thee.
