My balcony is sometimes just the best place to be at! The clouds looming over have finally cleared and I can see the hills beyond! If nature takes very little time to display the grandeur, I am pondering over the time his majesty will take to come out in his true form! I know it will happen, but how soon, I have no idea! Till then, I am patiently waiting!
How long will it take for the autumn to finally end? When will these trees finally bear leaves? I am asking these questions to myself and wondering about the answers! Not only this, it’s looks like these trees are mirroring our lives, making it a pathetic fallacy! I am waiting for the trees to bear leaves and for us to finally be united with the love of our lives!
When standing among the beauty, I am truly lost for words!
Sometimes, only sometimes, I feel that words have never been enough to describe the marvelling beauty!
The day didn’t go well and you aren’t happy with your self. But as soon as you step you, you see that there is a golden lining to the sky! It looks almost as if this line is a bifurcation between the land and the sky! And just then, you tilt your head upwards and see a few stars! And every time you bring you head down and move it back up, you see more of them! Are the stars increasing as you look up every time? No, they are there already but your eyes just need to get used to the beauty! And all you can think is that it’s beautiful. And you are then asking yourself the question What did I do to deserve this beautiful sunset everyday?
The landscape looks ethereal, almost as if it’s a painting. The view makes me feel as if I am no longer standing in the balcony adjoining my room, but floating, floating amongst the clouds and above the hills. The breeze is cold, yet oddly comforting. Every time you breathe in, the aura intoxicates your senses, making you feel heavenly.
The swinging shade is yet another example of perfect harmony, a state we humans can never be in. And standing here reminds me of a book I read years ago about a heartbroken woman. But this reminder does nothing to dampen my spirits. Instead, I rejoice that I can experience this harmonious exchange of nature. There is enough light for you to work and enough shade for you to not burn. Did I mention the leaves that are sparkling due to the subliminal gut falling on them. Alas, my phone camera cannot capture this beauty.
What can I say about this marvellous spectacle? All I can do is share it with you.
You take your phone out the pocket, and are still opening the camera. And whew, it’s gone! And then you realise that moments like these don’t exist for you to capture them, but to truly and beautifully enjoy the blissfulness that surrounds you. These moments exist so that you can realise that nature has made ways for you to recuperate from the hustle and bustle of life. But these ways have been long forgotten by you, because you have hardly paid attention to them. So, you make a decision to remind yourself once in a while to look outside the window so that you can heal your self. But you, as with everything else, forget. Days pass by in a blur! And one day, you suddenly spot a beautiful bird and the cycle starts once again.
