As water swirls, in ice and snow
As mountains part, to let it flow
A hesitant stream is born again
A dream, a wish, upon wind and rain
Through the years of land
Through the grains of sand
Through life and death
And every single breath
A river so strong, so sure, it turns
A glide, a gurgle, a current that burns
And yet it knows that the end awaits
The ocean so vast, so deep at its gates
For a journey that ends has only just begun
The river and the sea
Two hearts but one
~Meera~
This poem is awesome okay? You amaze me each time with your talent..!

The river and the sea
Two hearts but one
At first it’s a glance, you don’t realize when your eyes reach the last words of the poem, having made not much of it save the beauty of the rhyme, the beauty of the images that first come to mind, the beauty of sounds that come to mind.
But when does one realise that it’s not something ordinary? That one has found a gem?
It’s in the ascent that eyes make to the top and journey down again, and again, and again, and again, you cannot stop yourself. And every time you re-read, the words appear more beautiful, the images more vivid, the sounds more real and the poem becomes a song.
That’s exactly what “Journey To The Sea” did to me.
Kaveri Khushi Gupta and Arnav Varun. Good Lord dear author, there’s a river and there’s the sea. That’s her, the hesitant river at first, a dreamy romantic, wishful young girl. She’s vulnerable but she’s hopeful, fanciful.
It’s that girl’s journey through life, through years of land and sand (hardships?) life and death (of dreams or hopes?) but the years make her strong and… yet at the end he awaits – The vast, mysterious ocean, one she can’t elude. They are destined to meet and become one.
I missed this and I am reading it all again. It’s Meera behen’s story after all and I can’t just swallow it in a go. I have to savor it, revel in it. Fret over it, rejoice with it. Fall in love with it.
At this point, before I shut up, I can’t help but share this song that has been playing in my head, that plays whenever I read this poem. Journey to the sea invokes in me uncannily similar emotions as this classic by Mukesh does.
Oh re taal mile nadi ke jal mein,
Nadi mile sagar mein,
Sagar mile kaun se jal mein,
Koi Jaane na…
(Oh yeah, who is this Arnav Varun… koi jaane na)
Love,
Ria (cineraria :IF)
PS: Sorry for that rambling behen, I just couldn’t help it.

Even in her wildest dreams, Khushi hadn’t imagined using the keywords she was currently typing into the Google search box. “How to tell if a guy likes you” “What not to do in a new relationship” “Ten things every guy looks for in a girlfriend” She wondered if all this would serve any purpose.
