Sunset beach


It's a simple pleasure, and it costs nothing. Yet it's priceless.

Just standing there, watching the waves, admiring the final rays of light of the day. The sun set so quickly, and disappeared below the watery horizon. Seagulls sang and huddled together on the rocky surface of the wave-breaker. The waves were so calm and smooth.

Next to me stood my mum, and we watched the sunset together. I've been to the beach so many evenings around the same time, and I've watched many sunsets so many times, all by myself. The beauty, the serenity of it all makes me want to share the experience with another person every time.

And I'm glad that today I shared it with someone.
