Thoughts on the Beach in Unawatuna
Did I come to this place or did this place come to me?
A hiccup in a path that was laid out from birth.
And why is it in the embrace of this setting of such beauty that I should dwell on something so far away.
It is because lighthearted, I would dance with the icons of this Earth and gaze into the light that emanated from within myself.
My face would be on the screen and become an object of admiration and desire.
My aura would drown you with its intensity, and in the glare of my greatness, you would fall in love with me.
Or maybe not.
I did well on my SATs and I made the Dean’s list, maybe I could be a doctor.
With my hands, I would place them on the bodies and minds of the sick. People would revere me, for the highest gift you could bestow upon your fellow man is life.
My will would determine other’s realities and in light of my reverence, you would fall in love with me.
Or maybe not.
I’ve always been good at arguing, maybe I could be a lawyer. In front of an audience, I could shape the past with my mind and bend the present with my tongue.
Fate would be a source of amusement for me as I would consume the courtrooms with my passion, and with the comprehension of my power, you would fall in love with me.
Or maybe not.
I’ve always dreamt of creating.
Maybe. . .maybe I could make something that would stand forever, emanating its beauty in rhythm to the eternal. Sending waves of truth throughout the heavens, filling minds and hearts with love, becoming an entity in and of itself.
And all the universe would blow its sails onwards because it would have been the one thing that I did for no other reason than to simply to have done it.
And maybe you would fall in love with me.
Or maybe not.
