Thirteen Petals For My Clara

Someone ask me "How can you explain to a blind person the color of sea"
A small smile escape to my lips. I stare at her and look to the wide and beautiful ocean out side.

"My mom said. The colors of the sea, just by looking at the waves crashing the shore with such turbulence and the people doing all sorts of activities : surfing, building sand castles, having fun in the deep iced blue water, splashing each other with water. It just seems it never going to end. "

"The ocean can be described by a few words : a radical, tempestuous and calm...." I continued said. but then i suddenly stop when i truly remember what my mom said.

"Ang galing naman ni tit- " i cut her words with mine

"Do you want to know what my dad said? " Hesitation and clueless was written in her face.

"Clara"
