Have you ever seen the sun setting in to an ocean,
Have you ever really stoped and looked at it ?
The yellow, orange, pink and purple of the sky
Blending in to the glimmering blue of ocean.
Did it touch something in you, something deep?
The cool breeze on your face, in your hair
Did it sooth your wounds and energize your cells?
Did the sound of waves and rustling leafs
Calm your long troubled mind?
Have you ever felt the soft rays
Of setting sun on you face and closed your eyes?
The sun didn’t have to say it but you knew it
You knew in that moment
That it’s going to be okay.
Do you remember?
How can you say then
That you don’t believe in magic.

Your writing is refreshing.The words are as uplifting as the colors of the sky, touching as the cool breeze of the ocean, calming as the waves you described. They are magical. I believe in this kind of magic. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, that means lot to me!!! I am glad my words can speak to you and that you believe in this kind of magic, I believe it’s tragic when we deny ourselves the comfort of having faith in something, anything…faith is a very strong thing.
