Warm welcome..:)
Here we go again..some more lines to reflect on...
So just close your eyes for a moment ..and here..you are a kid...and you are in this vast field..in lush greenery...the sky is a fluffy pink..the zephyrs are playing with your hair..the breeze smells of violas and lavender..and you wonder..''those are the flowers the gardener had picked up for me as special token for my first day at school..'' you turn your awe-struck gaze at the ripe, juicy plums that hang beneath the tree branches invitingly...''oh- didn't my mum make a plum pudding for me cuz that's my favorite?'' and then this mystical place overlooks the sea and the sea-breeze just floods you with more memories...''hey...I and my brother make sand-castles here all the time!'' , the dew is ravishing, the flower petals are a state of art...that's picture perfect..
And it is that way..because you are a kid.
Now if the visual shifts whilst you are above the age of twenty..or perhaps..just older?
You see the firey red color of the flowers and you think of that girl who just goes about in class that wears those idiotic ear-rings, you see the water, the ripples it creates and it reminds of you of how lost anyone can get over there, you are just so worthless and alone, you see the rainbow that forms a beautiful arc overhead and you wonder why God never gives you that wonderful sight everyday....
That was great..now you can open your eyes...
Wondering where the difference lies? The age of innocence takes a backward gear, you'd become a pessimist..see the dark side of everything...
When you're an adult, its a bit like looking up the sky and thinking why couldn't it be lower so that it would be easier to touch..but if you were a kid, you'd look up there in the heavens..and if it was a starry night..the whole scene would drown in your eyes..they'd glimmer with the starts twinkling above and you'd pray to God to shower you with more memorable monets like these..and that the sky should be higher so when you'd be travelling up that high,,you'd be earnest to see another perspective of this wonderful world..
Being small, its so incredible how we always see the sunny side up of things..how we simply adore those spectacular creations...let's not let that optimism go..lets still see the beauty in everything..in reality..in dreams..in our thoughts..in our actions..
Today n tomorrow.. :)
Enjoy the magic while its there!
Ladens of love, Nash.

u write beautifully nash =) keep it up..but id like to mention one thing,u sometimes use a bit..u know,high vocab.words..not many people will understand them =] so it'd b better if u use simple words..simple language attracts the reader more..they usually give up if they cant understand half of the stuff cuz of tough words...just saying though =] ur choice ofcourse!once agn,great writing!
