Mertales #Bubble3

The maiden wandered lonely as a cloud in the clear blue sky. She was new to the ways of the land, rules were strange and confusing.

The charm,magic and beauty were not cherished on the littered land. Despised and accused for every action she was petrified.

The heart that was a pristine river was turning  into a muddled pond loaded with resentment.

Weary of the endless complaints she rested under a shady tree for a momentary solace.

In her dreams she heard bands thronging, the scent of myriad flowers lingering in the air with  sounds of  laughter reaching the sky. Fun,feast and frolic filled the place.

She was walking in a snow white wedding gown adorned with pearls and diamonds along the aisle.

Wreath and veil were an addendum  to the impeccable beauty. Star struck she looked at her mate who was walking towards her.

Cosmos was loaded with love that was brimming out of the milky way. Surrealistic was the space, magnetising every speck to witness the rarest sight.

Universe a place of ambivalence is artless to hold the love in abundance!

The ocean maiden doused in love, masked her tears and treaded on the terrain mindlessly.

Tears were condensed and turned into pearls, buried into the depth of the soul as memories.

Detaching the pearls may be fatal to her heart.

She lives with those pearls inside her oyster heart.

Oblivious so far in life she started looking around, the people, it was strange for a baby to understand the world once it comes out of the womb. 

She too felt the panic of a newborn but she was not able to cry.

Though she wanted to wail and let out all her pent up emotions,tears failed her like her loved ones.

Grief is not a blanket to be removed as we wake up from the bed. It is in layers and when you think, you are done with it, there is a layer beneath…it is a lifelong process!

Have you ever fallen in love that keeps you completely immersed in the deep blue ocean…where nothing exists?

Only you and your love nothing else. Everything around is blocked or shut!

You swim in bliss!unaware of the destiny!

And one fine day when you are thrown out of the ocean to face the real land.

You could not breathe on land since you belong to the ocean…you have gills and not lungs.

You pant, suffocate,writhe, wriggle for survival.

Death doesn’t embrace you and relieve you from the agony.It smiles at your sufferings and finally you get used to the breathing mechanism on the land.

Land devoid of love and charm…Nothing magical, just mundane even you mask your gills and start developing lungs.

Getting used to ordinary things is a punishment for an ethereal being isn’t it?
