27 degrees of happiness
This image
reminds me of a time when
I was happy,
but
I am now a very very long way from home.
The water, sky and sand in this frame, named Carrickalinga beach.
Holds hues of purple, pink, lavender, feelings of blue and yellow, hot and cold
milk chocolate powder soaked up by waves of green-blue tea
A very very long way from home, fingertips tapping silicone covered keypads
A sight so beautiful and familiar, yet foreign.
A foreign family becoming, like the dark night waltzed in by the light.
happy to witness the dance of Sun and Earth
happy to reminisce on light and everyday miracles
Yet alone,
so very far away from…
from a feeling
from happiness
when home is now,
where I am.
