Sunlight

Just a short piece.

It was as if I was a waking up from a dream. When the sunlight grazed my skin and seeped into my vision, all the fatigue and worry that had accumulated within me fled from some splintered crack in my soul. But it wasn’t happiness. It was this feeling of... supreme serenity that overtook me and embraced me as if we had known one another for years a hundredfold. The light, the warmth that surrounded me gave me an awareness of the world that I didn’t think I would ever reach.

The golden rays shot from cracks in the clouds like water seeping through a poorly-structured roof, and dripped onto the world. The watercolor spread and seeped into the trees and hills. Seeing a master at work for the first time… it's… enchanting.

I could have sat there for hours and not have known it. Just drifting into the world that was being made before my eyes. Each brush stroke brought new colors, and, along with them, feelings that I would have never been able to extract from such simple paint.
