1. It’s a wonderful landscape. A place where the sun
tenders the smooth sand and the scallops are brought to
the shore by the waves from the deep sea. How can you
watch the wonder and not feel the joy, not react or not
leave the chance to see the marvel in front of your eyes.
It’s painful! It’s sad to stay without hope in your soul.
It’s a story of a girl. An abandoned girl, abandoned by dreams
and hopes. She’s even forgotten to smile when you met her, her eyes were telling you the
story. She’s always had the eyes dressed in tears but a gentle and natural face. She was born
with an inability to touch and feel the ground with her own steps. She only had one wish
left. She was willing with all her heart to sit near the sea at least for five seconds, to watch it
for two seconds, to the draw the smell another two seconds and to store everything in a
second for the entire life. I don’t know if she was dreaming or the wish became reality, all I
know is she reached the sea, at the end of the summer. She was trying to collect as many
images as she could, and create of a whole album full of memories in a few seconds. She was
enjoying every moment like a child, a being who was offered a second chance to life. She
was glancing at the surroundings and away. She would wished never to leave. The beach
was deserted, the sun eyelids were sagging from the spell of sweat sleep. As the sun was
setting the sunshine were losing their brightness. There, on the shore, was the girl with the
touching eyes. She was waiting … but neither she knew what. The ray of light she was
waiting, to rekindle the sparkle of her eyes. The darkness was slowly bedding like the sand
of an hourglass on the stave of time. On the dark sky of night, the embraced stars were
dancing the last tango. Only one star was left alone, abandoned and reserved in one side of
the sky. Sighing, the star was slowly going down to earth, reaching above the sea. Floating
alone and the reflection of the star brings to the sur face of the sea the girl’s soulmate. Their
eyes met and their hearts attracted lisle two magnets. He was bashfully stepping to words
her, he covered her with his shirt he picked up and carried her on his arms to the waves of
the sea. The girl’s heart was beating hard with emotion and love, she started to feel for the
first time, she felt the divine touch of the cold water. The boy let her down slowly, as the
water took her with a huge wave, which kept a girl her captive, and from the wave born a
new girl was who could feel and walk alone through the waves of the sea.
With tears of happiness in her eyes, she run to her soul mate and jumped to gentle his chest, the
boy held her tenber fond in his palms, kissing her delicately lips for another one thousand
years.
