Adventerous Snorkeling

Two young couple, were all excited about
their new adventurous tour on snorkeling.
Their nights drifted with dream of fun
and fantasy,thinking about the next day in life.

As the clock ticked 7.00,
they rushed to board the train with crammed backpacks.
Reaching their destination hours before
their time of exploration
They delighted themselves with breakfast.
The mesmerising beauty of the sea
Turned them into kids,getting them
to play with stones and jumping in joy.

Soon it was time for them to relish 
the journey of snorkeling.
Squeezed into buoyant clothing &
decked with snorkel gears they
waddled in water with their swim fins.

As they enjoyed their clumsy rocking
they realised that, the sea was getting deeper.
Their legs no more has the strength to reach the ground.
It was a mixed feeling for every individual
A fear of drowning,
A joy of bravery,
A question of achievement and
A zeal of excitement....

Every effort of theirs to move further
ripped them apart from each other.
Currents went high at places;
Yet they were all safe in the hands of their trainer.

This sense of security;
dissolved them to feel the beauty of the underwater world.
Their oscillating eyes captured the greenery in water
They partied with the fishes, sea horses and weedy sea dragons.
They experienced a sense of peace and tranquility.

But, they missed their loved ones by their side.
All gestures to call their loved ones was fruitless
However, the sense of sight kept them at satisfaction.

Coral reef & Puffer fish amused them
Learning to float & getting toes down excited them
Turning at different angles spurted them with gushing water.

But then, it was time to get back to normal life.
With nerve pulls,leg cramps,shivers and sea sickness
they all hailed out of water.
Their eyes & their warm hugs,
spoke millions of how they missed each other.

As the sun dawned they walked back with clanged hands
dreaming about yet another adventurous trip.
The day of adventure was also a day of learning that,
Every drop of happiness will form only with a drop of hardship and faith.
