BlogFest2012 Photo Prompt: Today, you are asked, by http://www.mydistanthusband.blogspot.in/2012/10/a-boy.html to look at the photo below, and think about what thoughts come to your mind. Write those thoughts down, for others to read, to experience.
A young boy, looks out at the ocean.
What is he thinking? Doing? Dreaming about? Hoping? Learning? Contemplating?
Is he feeling sad? Serene? Happy? Scared? Lonely?
Is he alone? With someone? A group? Family? Friends? Strangers?
Write anything you want.
Just write. And enjoy the process.
I stand and stare at the waves,
and can hear them thinking.
Every wave has the same thought,
What if the shore rejects me again?
How will I come back again?
When will I learn that it’s a game,
for him to play with my feelings?
He rejects me every time I call,
pushes me away cruelly.
Why does he behave in this awful manner?
Why can’t he be gentlemanly?
Is he hoping to keep me away,
so that I don’t get hurt crashing onto him?
Is he looking out for me,
and trying to set me free?
I wish he would just tell me,
let me make the choice.
I will decide If I want in or out,
I pray that he lets me.

Beautifully written — I do hope whatever/whoever that is in this boy's way would let him decide which way to go instead of blocking/rejecting him.
I agree with you, I want the same for him.
Aww sad. I love the metaphor here, Sulekha. ❤ 🙂
Thanks Irene 🙂
great questions… i hope he finds the answers he is looking for….
Thanks for your visit, I hope he finds what he is looking for soon.
Unusual take on the waves talking to the boy.
I am hoping the boy finds his answers near the shore.
Cheers, Jenn.
He is lost.
