The World at Six O'Clock



The moment I climbed the mezzanine and glanced at the sea inches away from me, calmness engulfed the surroundings. Seawater gently lapped onto big chunks of rock separating the land from the sea. Birds played with the water - a fleet hopping on the surface in unison and disappearing at once. Fishes frolicked underneath, creating an illusion of raindrops on the surface. And the wind was blowing gently, spewing the last ice-cold feel of air before summer.

The bird flying against a backdrop of sunset formed a locomotive silhouette in the sky. And the sun caused the heaven to bleed as it retreated to its home.

The sea laid like a dark blue mantle of unending length. And the land where I was seated marked the end of the sky that spanned a hundred billion mile.

What a beautiful sight. How vast the world has been. What a splendor.
