Weightless I float, way above the sea of sapphire blue sparkles
The sunlight bejewelling the interminable ocean of serenity.
Space…calm…noiseless…emptiness.
Tranquillity.
I try to make out the line between solid and liquid.
Only as I descend I can see a perfect stretch of cornflower yellow.
Suddenly I am standing here. I play with the tiny grains of sand.
My feet sink in and I feel the warmth and energy which the Sun has provided.
I can feel the grains in between my toes.
