Waves of life #Day21

again,
I am sitting here at the beach
feeling each wind blows
listening to each wave comes
watching the shore swept by each beat of the waves
and I see
each time the wave sweeps the shore and beats it slowly, a little mark is left
but once it beats so hard, the wider it gets swept away and the smoother its surface is
and, it makes me think
does it have to be like that?
to get beaten so hard that I can start things over from all the mistakes made and the scars left before... 

then I can draw another one on it 
and again I need to get beaten by another wave so that I can start over to draw another one

all over again and again
I think yes, it will always be like this to keep moving and going 
each wave sometimes takes a while for another to come, but another time it keeps coming again and again without a pause
oh and sometimes, we can even see when it is about to come and predict if it's gonna a big one or the small one

but again, it's a prediction, what happens will always surprise you

Puisi itu aku tulis sejak lama dan aku simpan di catatan HP. Beberapa waktu lalu, aku menyimak kajian Sadhgur dan beliau pun sempat mengambil ombak di lautan sebagai sebuah analogi atau perumpaan. Agak mirip tapi berbeda. Menurut Sadhguru, kehidupan itu seperti lautan yang berombak dengan segala kesulitan, rintangan, dan masalah. Siapapun yang bisa mengendalikan dirinya ketika ombak itu datang, sebesar apapun, orang tersebut akan bisa melaluinya atau bahkan menikmati dengan berselancar. Semakin besar ombak malah akan semakin seru untuk berselancar. Akan tetapi, ketika seseorang tidak mempunya kemampuan itu, orang tersebut akan selalu panik ketika ombak menghantam, akan kehilangan Sarah, atau bahkan akan jatuh dan tenggelam di dalamnya. 

Kalau kamu, apa yang muncul di pikiranmu ketika melihat ombak?
