Spellbound By That Special Feeling

Wind blew gently that night as if it had a story of its own to tell. It carried a scent, so friendly,yet so mystifying. It gave a feeling of something special from within. I gently opened windows to the gleaming milky moon-light, awed by the clear sky scattered with the distant stars. The sky looked so immense and unbounded, amplifying my diminutiveness compared to the perpetual universe.

Somewhere close by a cricket chirped, bringing my mind from somewhere light-years away to the vicinity. The cool breeze touched my face, refreshing me from the weariness of the hard day.I could hear night-jar chirping merrily to silent night. The night and the nature together conspired to arouse that special feeling from within myself. It was as if the flew away from the cage into the open arms of mother nature.

I was released from the earthly binding. Unrestricted and untethered, I soared away to the blissful ethereality. I had the blissful feeling of utmost felicity and ecstasy. There are moments in life when you think it can't get much better than this. It Isa feeling you feel when you are doing your heart's bidding. The exhilarating sensation of being on top of the world with a tingling numbness came to me like a sudden splash of water. I went to sleep at mid-night relishing those moments, with that special feeling lingering in my heart.

An Afternoon In Her Life

The waves hummed in her ears as she lay under the apple tree on top of a hillock. A cool breeze blowing from the sea in the late afternoon had made her drousy, as the summer sun shone mildy in the cloudy sky. She looked so beautiful. She lay peacefully, waiting for the eternity to pass by blissfully. She had her eyes on the waves striking a nearby rock.


Suddenly, she was distracted by a loud screech. A couple of seagulls were tugging for a small fish. Amused by it, she smiled. She looked so pretty when she smiled. Her emerald eyes and her curly long hair accentuated her looks. A quick glance at her watch made her realise it was quite late. The sun had almost dipped into the vast sea. She got up, took her handbag into which she collected a couple of fallen apples and left.
