Moments

Slipping through her hand the sand falls on her folded feet.
The warmth of the silky sand under her feet and now on it makes her look down and she wonders what she had done to deserve this moment of peace.
The golden sun with its filtered rays make her skin glow and her hair dances in the gentle breeze.

The sun is gentle, the breeze caressing and the day is still young. Thinking back she realizes how she never thought such a moment would ever come to her. Until this moment she never thought life had any more surprises, let alone one that made her smile and here she was smiling to herself.

Looking at the endless ocean and the bright orange sun she thought how by living in the events of life we forget to look at the moments. Just when you thought there is nothing else left for you to say or do comes a moment, such as the one she experienced now, that makes you stop and head back to begin life with a renewed sense of purpose.

A moment where all past events fade and tears don't need to fall, a moment where shattered dreams don't matter because new ones a brought to front.

To end a life or to begin a new one, we are lucky to have the choice.

Digging her feet deeper in the sand, hugging her knees she smiles.......
