today's sunet

Jun 09, 2006 21:20

my last class ended with the sun still warm and up. i was surprised. after the long hot day, i felt excited like i was having the day i've always waited for. this will be a good sunset, i thought. then there was an impulse. i rushed out of my legalen room, went straight down the stairs and off to the gate of my shool without my usual powder room retreat. i walked fast as the wind glided with me. i felt more excited, and glimpse at the sky almost every moment just to make sure that this is the real thing this time. (i often have dissapointing sunsets. like wen i expected it to be beautiful and actually waited for it, then it will be cloudy or it will rain just in time. harsh.)

i rode an orange ride and waited as the green lights turn orange then red then green again. i saw the main road of the blvd. and smiled. (i think i looked odd for a moment, but the heck.) we crossed the street and i took off at a now very familiar place and walked through some thousand pebbles. i passed by an eating place when all of a sudden, a group of men started to sing a familiar song which now i can't remember. they're singing in chorus and sounded  funny. i cracked there while walking. they sound pleasantly funny.


i was walking into a long bricked pathwalk, with the wind blowing my hair off my head. it was so warm. the sun is still high. i was surprised to see some number of people - mostly couples sitting there closely with each other, doing "couple stuffs". they all look kinda funny when seen collectively. i walked along, almost blinded by the high sun, until i reached a favorable spot - a pebbled seat right in front of the setting sun, beside a big tree. and i just sat there, feeling the wind. listening and watching everything that my senses can contain. i felt home really. it was a perfect feeling. and i really enjoyed myself just watching around, thinking what everybody else is trying to do. reading people's body speeches. it was fun. then i saw myself and felt odd because i'm sitting there alone. but then, i saw this man. he sat by a light post, rested his back there and faced the sea. he was just there, sitting so comfortebly. he looked funny too. then i realized, i wasn't alone really. i thought that there, in that open space, there come so many thristy souls like me and try to fill their hearts with some beauty through their eyes. they were almost family. im so thankful to have known the way to get to this place and regret the many sunsets i've missed because i just knew the way recently. i'll have tomorrows. i'm glad to have made that decision of walking through there a while ago. it's the one of the most beautiful things.


i think that something's really of beauty, when it contacted with your senses so many times and they still look new, and different and beautiful every damned time it comes. God is good.
