For a moment, I thought I was alone. That was the feeling I dreaded most when all of a sudden, I felt silence around me would close up on me soon and put me in total darkness. Everything seemed to be wrapped up in quietness and stillness. How wrong I was, letting my mind drifted into negative zone.
As I turned around, I heaved a sigh of relief. Above me was a canopy of blue that could put anyone's heart at peace. Right there was a majestic staircase from heaven in its awesome design, so eye-catching.
I had hoped to take a glimpse of the supposed Prince walking down that staircase to meet his beautiful princess on earth . Perhaps he did, at the other end of it. How sweet it was!
Soft breeze passed by and whispered sweet words among the lush of green. I was not alone after all. It was just that I did not realize how much nature could offer me its beauty and how it could make me feel accompanied by it. What added more beauty to it, was the breeze that whistled across the valley and gently touched everything in its path.
What an awe-inspiring beauty which made my day to discard the solitary feeling out of me. I would continue to admire the tranquillity till the staircase from heaven was replaced by glittering diamonds and smiling moon right above me and the canopy of blue changed into a backdrop of black. Endless beauty!

That's lovely, charming, beautiful Balqis. So nice to read you again!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy reading you, Marie. Thank you so much! :)

My eyes are for nature, Hank. There's beauty in everything I see. Thanks so much for your nice comments. :)
DeleteOne of the pleasantest things in the world is going a journey; but I like to do it myself. I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company for me. I am then never less alone than when alone.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we don't need a company.. nature fills the gap :)
I agree with you, Jyoti. Nature plays an important role. Thanks for commenting. :)
DeleteNice one Balqis. It's like I am reading a page in a good story book. You could be a good writer.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Christine. There's much more for me to learn. Your words are indeed the encouragement for me to move on. :)
DeleteLoneliness is a state of mind :-)
ReplyDelete...until we discover we aren't by ourselves. You're right, Amrit. Thanks! :)
DeleteNever more accurate than when we learn to make little chords with sun ray-beams, and sing an aria with the whisperings of a sweet bee. Nature can possess us like a Princess in her best radiant self.
