The waves were getting rough, gushing to the shore with so much speed and stride, almost in line with the approaching storm. The wind made the trees sway so hard and it was growing dark so fast as the evening sky was being overtaken by the dark and heavy clouds.

The storm was approaching faster and winds were so mighty strong that the waves crashed on the rocks with a lot of force. The sea shore was fast being drowned and covered by the sea water and yet I walk towards it.

The wind was strong and cold, giving me so much of goose bumps and blowing in my hair making it so messy and unruly. I felt like the wind would push me away but I fought the force and walked towards the waves on the sea shore.

As the icy cold sea water washed my feet, the coldness ran through every inch of my body making me feel numb and immovable like a big cold stone.

I wrapped my arms around myself, still staring out onto the sea, staring as far away as I could, and waiting for that ship to get closer to shore.

I do not know what this ship holds, or who is on it. But that feeling of wanting to see, wanting to know and the hope of seeing something I wanted… or someone I dreamt of.. makes me want to stay and not move back.

I stay like a cold statue, with feet sinking in the sand and sea water up to my knees, making me shiver uncontrollably. But there was a slight feel of warmth in my heart as I yearned to see what is coming to shore and what was in that ship.

The lightning strikes and thunder gets louder. It was scaring me and the noise was almost deafening. Yet, I hold on and wait, fighting in a way I can. I’m afraid to turn back and walk as there is nothing to walk back to. I’m also afraid of what might come to shore in that ship. Yet I wait patiently to see what will come.

Will that ship come soon? Will it deliver hope, faith and something I need and yearn to have in my life? Will that ship get closer at all? Will the bright lights blind me and make me see something nice after that? Something nice? Something divine? Some change I could use?

Endless possibilities…

Waiting for the sunshine….

Waiting…just waiting for the emotions and the hurt to wash away….

Waiting….. just waiting…… in the cold…..
