Shades

The colour of the ocean
when I was there yesterday,
was a deeper shade of
Blue than it is today,
just like the sky
which changes its colour
with the advent of the
clouds in it.
But both the ocean and
the sky remain intensely
original in all its shades,
keeping inside in their
huge embraces,
the beginning of life and
its end.
Likewise,
my mind's colours also
change only in their edges,
while fiercely remaining loyal
to all its inner shades,
as you relentlessly keep
appearing and disappearing
in my dreams,
as also in my waking hours
where you remain an entity
no where to be seen.
