Moments

It was a hard day I said to myself as I entered my room. I was pretty tired and reclined on the chair. Naturally, my eyes closed. My thoughts drifted and took me away to a far far land.

I was standing on the edge of a cliff. Pretty high. It was almost dusk. I could watch the sea below. The sea appeared blue and stretched far into the distance, as far as I could see. The sound of the waves breaking against the rocky bottom on the cliff was distinct. The sky was crimson, with a streak of bright white light. Little birds flying in the distance appeared as black spots in the canvas of the sky. They were perhaps returning to their nest to feed their young ones. A strong cool breeze was blowing on my face. I could feel the force of the wind as I stood there. I spread my arms to feel the wind, as if I was hugging it. I was lost in the moment. So calm, so peaceful, so beautiful !

And so contrary !
