It's
been a year now since I last witnessed the dazzling setting of the sun and felt
the cold rush of air from the sea and the warmth of the sun as it sets.
Remembering how the waves crashed on the sea vessel bringing me to and from our
island. Now, it's getting less vivid as the days pass by here in the city.
I
grew up on an island. As I did so, I excitedly anticipated being able to travel
across the water and be able to step on the other side of the island, which has
the nearest town. I came to experience it when I reached high school. I spent
my high school years in the little noisy and busy town. Every day, I had to
travel from the island to the town and back again.
One
of my happiest memories was when I boarded the sea vessel for the first time. I
was exceptionally happy witnessing how the vessel would crash through the
brilliant waves. The beauty is unparalleled when the sun hits the waves, just
like diamonds spread throughout the surface. It is such a perfect way to start
the day. It puts my emotions at peace. As days went by experiencing the same
thing, the sight I admired the most became
normal to me. As my work at school
made me tired, I would sleep throughout the trip home.
Now,
as I make my way in the middle of the
busy city surrounded by beautiful lights and cheerful crowds, there's this
sudden longing for the years I spent at the island. I surely miss the tides.
