DESTINY

Blue Paradise

"The ocean is everything I want to be; beautiful, mysterious, wild and free"

Good Morning. Wait, What? Have I became blind or what? Why is it so dark? Oh....wait. I've covered myself fully with the blanket. Ah~ such a stupid creature I am. It's a blue morning, like really blue. Everything was blue, I love blue.  The sky is blue, the ocean is blue...... Such a beautiful morning it is. Everyone is still sleeping, I think I am the only one awake now. It's not even sunrise now, why am I up so early?

I thought of having a walk on the shore. The musical sound of the waves were as calming as always. The horizon had little patches of white cloud thrown here and there. It was a magnificent view. I love the oceans, I belong to the oceans rather than lands and hills. Not that I hated them, but I have this special feeling when I connect to the ocean. I sat down on the shore looking at the clouds changing color in the horizon. They were going from white to a vermilion shade. It was fascinating even to observe them. The ocean was so blue, I've never seen so many shades of blue together. 

"Good Morning Noor. Enjoying the view?" Tae came from behind and sat beside me. He was smiling brightly at me. 

"Yeah. It is really beautiful. It looks better in the morning than at night" I said smiling back at him. He had his camera in his hands. I knew he loved photography. So, this is what he is up to.......

"Capturing it in your camera?" I asked him pointing at his camera.

"Hmm.... I got up early so that I can capture this beautiful view. You know what? What the camera captures is not even 5% of the beauty of the real view. This... this beauty can never be captured by any camera. I am just capturing the time we spent here. It is worth capturing. We can't let it fly away" Wow....he spoke like a professional orator.... He is so good at appreciating things. 

I looked at him in awe. He was staring at the ocean, still thinking about this unbelievable beauty.

"Would you like to see the pictures?" Tae asked me.

"I would love to, please show me" I requested him. He gave me a smile and searched for the pictures he took. They were amazing. I can't explain.... he is so good at this. He can just be a professional photographer, no one would doubt his abilities. His pictures were so lively, not like the other photographs which looked lifeless. I am in love with these photographs.

"They are so good Tae. You should do an exhibition. I bet these won't even take an hour to be sold. I have never seen such photographs" I told him still awestruck with his talent.

He smiled shyly at me. How cute, he looks really cute when he gets shy. He is always cute though.
