Wonderstruck

Strangled in the thoughts,
stuck in the waves,
lost in memories,
that sank in the sand.

There seemed to be a curve,
But I still kept walking,
Thought whatever happens,
will be at that moment seen.

The caress to my soul, 
didn't look so grateful,
 Because blindfolded was I,
 I still kept walking.

One day that curve,
finally came to an end,
 wonderstruck was I,
I couldn't understand.

The pages that I painted 
with the ink of secrets,
 shattered and made me learn
a million lessons at once.

Be yourself, rare, unique" they said,
 it had a vast meaning behind, 
but lost in my thoughts I was, 
I couldn't understand.

Then the wave hit me,
 I couldn't breathe in the sand,
those thoughts got all shattered, 
got collected in my mind.

Those waves had waterdrops, 
each one had a name,
different moral each had, 
to make me understand

That was when I decided, 
to keep swiming (working towards my goal/aim), until I reach the Shore (my destination)
