Shreeya Sampada, Puri, 26 January 2026
When the wind swirls,
my heart fills with joy.
When the gentle sea waves dance,
my feelings of remorse shift
and my spirits are high.
A dazzling smile
makes me feel delighted.
When the mole crab slid along with me,
it fills me with ecstasy.
As the crystal-clear seawater
washes over my feet,
it feels as if it has
washed away all my sins.
When I inhale the fresh air from the sea,
I am transported into
the bliss of nature.
Building sandcastles
with the moist sand
reminds me that
many colours are waiting
to be added to my hollow life.
As I collect seashells,
I realize there are
many incomplete life lessons still to be explored.
Even when I doze off,
I can listen to
the symphony of the sea
lapping at the shore…
