I woke up from a dream, into a dream…
Eyes opening to the soft touch of the first light , the windows beckoned me, promising a sight so rare … I stepped out of the door,into the cool embrace of the heavy mist. There was but just one color… the world was orange around me!
 |
| The orange world as the day began |
The lazy morning laid her misty mantle over the endless lake. There was no beginning…. no end … the earth had merged with the sky…
 |
| The lamps fell asleep …. with the rising sun … Leaving dew drops from the night |
As I walked along the shoulder of the waters , something other than the cold gave me shivers…. the silence mystified me . There was peace … all around…. I got goosebumps…
 |
| The cold, the mist, the silence and me |
I wished to freeze in time…. to hold on to the moment… I was so in love. The slanting rays kissed the waters, scattering millions of diamonds on it ….
I got on the dock of the boat and sat down , hanging and swaying my feet as I breathed in the beauty, the calm of the surrounding…. I could now see the vague edges of the lake, the mist was slowly clearing up….
 |
| Eyeing the rising sun… from the dock |
I gazed into the water below my feet…. I saw a happy girl, swinging her feet , humming a familiar tune…. Her eyes twinkled, shining to the rising sun, enjoying her secret moment before the world wakes up around her, that misty morning….
