THROUGH THE WINDOW !

Through the window - A magical evening !

My window is a hundred years old yet perfect in every way. The glass, though clear, is as thick as a soda bottle. Each rectangle, no bigger than my classwork notebook, is held in place with black iron. Like the stone walls it was built to last. Though it must have been so much harder to make, the top is a gentle arch rather than flat.

As I gazed out of my window not neglecting the golden glow that spread across the sky as the sun chased the dark clouds away I saw the unending bright sky which was luminous blue and grey. The sun gradually filtered through the clouds signalling the end of the casual drizzle and once again took its rightful place on the horizon letting its ray cascade onto the world, bringing the scene into full view, adjusting the brightness and contrast beyond perfection.

I randomly glanced at the royal smooth road which was now muddy and rutted. Short green grass that was sodden and well-trimmed seemed to look like combed hair which waved and rustled in the pleasant evening breeze. Fresh sunlight illuminated perfect spheres of water upon its fine green wands. With the chorus of the birds above, this chill evening felt as if it had a touch of magic, as though anything may have happened.

The trees were dancing ladies, each in dresses more fabulous than any designer can craft. They move, choreographed by the wind, perfectly synched with one another. They were the life and soul of this tropical evening, and I wondered  how many hues of green my eyes were witnessing. As they stretched upwards and outwards towards the light, drinking in rays as pure as the rain. I admired the soulful paradise and retreated my eyes. Inhaling the fresh air, I felt all my worries floating into the thin air leaving me feel light-hearted.

In this sunlight that painted my skin so warmly, I spotted some white bodies which soared across the skies. The silver linings of the clouds were being sliced by vast, beautiful wings. Their figures stood prominent in the bright blue above, with only small pockets of clouds to hide them. They were the birds in the sky that complemented the eye-pleasing view. The melodious sounds of the birds created a pleasant harmony against my ears. A gratifying sensation washed over me, as the cool breeze flowed through me.

As time passed, the glowing sun, a crisp circle in the carmine kissed sky made me a promise for the next day started its journey. The rampant fireball sunk through the horizon, the fleeting colours of the dusk faded with spectral fragmentations. The endless sky which was illuminating now with vibrant specks of sun rays in the bluish-pink sky looked like an impressive painting which arrested my eyes with its impeccable beauty. Rich hues of red blended with oranges, purples and crimsons with the twilight magnifying the artistic allure. Finally the sun dipped into the horizon and a grey blanket was shroud over the sky. The glamourous  disco ball replaced the sun with all its dignity.

The soft humming of the birds, the light breeze and the exotic sunset made it an irresistible drug. A drug that was soothing my senses heavenly. Indeed the view of this uplifting paradise was a delight to my senses. The peaceful atmosphere made me forget about the encroaching civilization and allowed me to live the moment. It was the perfect view and the rightful moment that rejuvenated myself!
