After sunset


I love witnessing sunset from where I lay down on the beach. The view of the sun dropping in the infinite sea and how the sky looks when it is painted with orange and pink leave me in a state of peace that I've never experienced at the sight of any other thing. 

But then, the pink and orange sky gets darker until it turns to black.  And the clouds that once united with the sun to create a heavenly landscape, have now united with the dark to create a gloomy one. 
But only when it gets really dark, do the stars start to glow. Only when it gets really dark, does the moon show, and the sea becomes ready to reflect the moonlight on its surface announcing that it's not dark anymore. The scene is heavenly again.

We believe that sunset is an ending and this is where the problem lies. We lose our ability to see the stars because we are blinded by what precedes their appearence, and this is how simply life goes.

See, there's a transitional phase between sunset and the appearence of the moon that despite its darkness, still has its own beauty. Because if you have a long look at the sky during this phase, you'll find out that the sky hasn't totally lost its pink and orange colors. And it is not totally gloomy. 


When we fall down, we think it's the end and we lose our ability to think correctly. 
We forget that we'll definitely be given  another chance. Because unlike people, life gives second chances.
