Serene Evening

Have you ever wished to be able to capture a moment? Not by the aid of photography But by capturing and saving it in the memory that never gets full For when you want to relive it you can just think about it Then like a scene taken out from a fairytale The scenery from that one moment captured in time can materialize Like opening a wonderland door beaming in anticipation Of once again getting lost in a world so tranquil Away from the chaos that’s behind the door Woke up drunk and groggy from a habitual long day’s nap The sun was just setting Longing to take in earth’s air After being cooped up in the house all day I strolled to the front door Like a norm, always having me weak on my knees Once again mother-nature didn’t fail me I could smell it, taste it, hear it and feel it The earthy breeze that greeted me at the door It enticed me to step outside as if it were a host welcoming his guests in his humble home I felt one with the wind as it caressed my florid cheeks and stroke my hair So much tenderness and delicacy in its caress Far into the distance in the heart of the city the faint sound of cars can be heard Synchronized with the sway of leaves as they danced with the howling wind And the chirping of crickets A sweet serene and compelling melody was created Face to face with the hypnosis I let it all go and succumbed to the alluring siren like melody I was ready to be a prisoner to such phenomenon As I elegantly drifted around the compound Swaying with the evening breeze I never thought the evening could get any better than it were already is I looked up to the sky still dimly lit by the last rays of the setting sun It now wore its priceless evening jewelry That flicked and sparkled as they blushed from my undiverted admiration gaze I then saw them In awe, for a brief moment in time it was like the earth came to a halt Gosh I’d even forgot to breath for a split second For my eyes were graced by such beautiful splendor It hanged up there so majestically like a king amongst his followers Though slim and incomplete its dominating illumination was intimidating By its side was his loyal companion He stood there with an angelic outline and captivating radiance oozing from him It was the two evening princes ;the crescent moon and the star Such a sight to see aint it Now wouldn’t you agree with me when I say moments like this should be captured in memories that we can relive whenever we want with the indulgence of all our five senses?
