At the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA, the sun appears to go down in layers. Down in the depths, shadows reign, while the last vestige of pulsating glow dances across the tops of the cliffs. It is quiet, calm, serene, and peaceful.
I bet your morning won't be as pretty as mine? #😎
Cause you're in a city, you can't see the horizon, you'll never know the feeling of watching nautical twilight turn into sunrise.
I left the sound on so you could hear this, it's just a few seconds, go ahead, enjoy the peaceful video..
The words have been shared,
sensations felt and put away
in the box of memories
that hold life
as we need it to be.
The summer breeze on my skin,
smell of hay and head full of dreams.
An old willow tree swaying hands
that caressed my sun burned face.
In the grass amongst crickets
and butterflies,
with wildflowers in my hair,
I was daydreaming
and watching clouds
change shape.
There, amongst weeds and bugs,
innocence was sleeping
wrapped in the illusions
of its own making.
The world hasn't changed,
there was always
love and betrayal,
greed and regret,
beginnings and ends.
Broken heart and shattered dreams
a story that ended
with words cold as steel.
Wet pillowcase and despair,
the box of memories
gone up in flames.
Ashes wetted with tears,
weakness turned to strength
with a single heartbeat.
Nothing was new
beneath the stars,
and life didn't end
with a broken heart.
The river moves calmly through its landscape, not in any particular hurry to get where it's going because, even if the pace is leisurely, it will still, eventually, reach its destination. A good thing to remember when we're tempted to rush through our day.
A group of friends has spent the most pleasant day out on the water together, and that day is coming to a contented close. Sunset casts its golden glow over water and sky, creating a magical environment that is almost other worldly.
It is late afternoon on a sultry summer day in the country. The wheat fields surrounding the farmhouse are golden, glowing under the soon to be setting sun, and from where you're sitting, on the porch, it feels good to just enjoy the silence and the peace.
It is evening at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA. A slight mist hovers over the cliffs in the background as the sun casts its last golden glow over the landscape. Peace reigns.
