Standing on this jagged cliff,
I look out into the horizon...
fading sun over a pristine,
blue sea of tranquility.
Such an utter sense of calm washes over me,
as the waves gently reach their arms out
to the vigilant rocks below.

Many times in my life
I have caught a glimpse
of nature's breathtaking wonders.

I could almost feel
that fading sunset
warming my heart.
So close to touching
those twinkling
nighttime stars.
The clean smell of the
rain-soaked world
intoxicated me...

I could hear beauty
calling me from everywhere...
yet, was unable to answer its call.

It's strange how
people can change.
I am awakening now,
emerging from the
fog-shrouded days
of past.
And as these gloomy clouds
begin to dissipate,
I am able to see so much clearer
all the splendor
that I could only dream
of touching yesterday.

As I stare out into
the peaceful ocean,
the sun is lulled to sleep
once again,
and I realize that my life
has only just begun.
I am ready now,
to spread my wings and fly.

very well written...
great words...

If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves
from which evolves the light...
