suntannedapples: July 2024

Wednesday, July 31, 2024

Over time, the torch bearer grew strong, his contours sharp, his presence ubiquitous, and vision pervasive over centuries of time. Where once he was and where he will be tomorrow, his mind could read. An awesome range of history, chronicled, and most of its moments that went unchronicled, were now inscribed in his mind with certainty. He stood on the rock to greet the sun. Behind him the reddening sky, the ancient hills, all proclaimed, "You are a timeless being." And he with a smile said, " Stars in heaven, my witness be! I shall return!"

What a precious sunrise!

The storm abated, the sea is quiet;

the tide is ebbing with a calm voice.

It feels like heaven when you see the sun.

The earth, the silent wind,

the murky sky picking up light,

and on the sea bed the coral and shell gone to sleep

taking the sounds of the sea in their vaults.

Everything is as it was

when you left it last night to embrace sleep.

Beautiful narrative, remembering the days when I used to go the Beach at Juhu most of the sunrises and sunsets.

We have been there at sunrise too but more often at sunsets. The memory of Juhu beach sunrise is linked in my mind with a stall owner making jowar rotis on a make shift chulha and the crispy aroma. He was making them for his own breakfast.
