Magic

Let me paint a picture for you. Forgive me if it doesn't live up to its reality.


A black, calm sea in front.
Dotted ships that look like floating lanterns suspended in the horizon.
Silhouetted mountains behind.
Cold sand underneath.
Stardust above.
An empty beach.
A lone bonfire at the far end.
Silence.
Shooting stars.
Constellations.
Stationary planets.
Easy conversations.
Silence.
Looking out into the horizon.
Switched off mobile phones kept far away.
Thoughts.
Dreams.
Whispers.
Cigarettes. 
Laughter.
Friends.
Quietude.


I don't think anything can come close to this. 


Sometimes ALL one needs is 
a moment of disconnection to connect, 
a moment of letting go to get, 
a moment of silence to listen, 
a moment of no words to read, 
a moment of doing nothing to get everything.


Thank you 2011 for giving me a taste of magic after so many years.
