...You turn your face skyward and let the orange setting sun glow off you. Far in the distance, the horizon is swathed in a heavenly twilight and the clouds that seem to converge into the setting sun are bright like burning embers. The crowns of the two coconut trees in the foreground are silhouetted against the glorious radiance. As you step back and take in the whole scene you know, this is it.
This one moment, this microcosm of space and time is the world of your dreams, the grass on the other side, a sight to behold and sigh with a hopeful joy.
'...What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
...No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance...'

This is my absolute favourite! It will always be that one special piece of my writings that I love.
