The Sea

The sea again, as always it draws you in and frightens you, today a RED flag, danger, like in life. Go in, don't take the risk, dangers don't lurk only in the sea. So many things that seem simple, aren't. There's always the one who defies it, the sea as much as life. And I think, the world belongs to the brave. I step back from the shore, I wait for it to change, because like everything in life it is a running on and never stopping.

Today the flag says uncertain sea, do I go in, do I not, do I marry, do I not, do I have a child now or wait, tomorrow won't be too late, do I study the career I want or the one they advise me, I am like the uncertain sea, but life hurries on and decisions have to be made, each of us with our own flag.

I woke up happy, I went to the shore, sky-blue flag like the sky, everything calm, the children build castles in the sand and I dream that everything smiles on me, that life is worth living, but the hours pass and time isn't measured by the clock, but by emotions. So stormy time is long, the time of doubt is eternal, because we always have two roads to choose from, but happy time is so short because it's the one we wish would last long, the way children hope the sea will always stay calm.

But the cycles of life are like those of the sea, only the sea doesn't grow old, and we learn to enjoy it, always with the same pleasure.
