I lay gazing up towards the sky that stretched out endlessly overhead the wind blew across the plains where I lay ruffling my hair as my eyes drifted across the heavens. Several clouds passed overhead, like islands they floated high above unrestrained by the ground. As the wind blew across my face once more I could pick up the tang of the sea air. The salty taste coated my lips, and it was as if I could hear the waves lapping at the shore, ah the ocean I thought as my mind began to wander. A smile and the deep, clear blue of the water as it stretched off into the horizon. A smile played on my lips they were the easy days unrestrained by the duties that age brought with it.
I sighed softly to myself. The white clouds began to grow thicker overhead as the sun was momentarily blocked casting my face into shadow, I continued to gaze skywards as a strange sound reached my ears.
Bababababababababa
Like the sound of a giant insects wings beating the sound echoed out across the plains as the clouds overhead were forcefully split apart by a large mass of

Framed by the tall buildings to either side a single rectangle of blue could be seen, the occasional cloud drifted by carried by some far off wind to an unknown destination.
“So beautiful, the sky is so beautiful”, I knew not where these words had come from. But the sky where no coughing beggars, no piles of rubbish gathered, no stray dogs wandered, a place so pure so clear where the hierarchy of the ground may not reach appeared so beautiful to me. I want to fly too I want to soar through the air the young orphan cried in his heart. Paying no heed the Alstroemeria fighters flew on disappearing as the September sun streamed down on the tear stained face of the orphan a hand reaching out desperately towards the sky.

Gentle sea breeze tickled my face as I watched wisps of white fluff drifted across a crystal clear blue sky. The rhythmic sound of the wave; the screeching of the sea birds was so familiar and hypnotic at the same time. However, my children’s pearls of laughter turned all the other sounds into background
Strong winds from the east pulled across the land, bringing dust with it. The grasses flickered in the gusts and filtered the dust. A light dusty haze laid atop the flat horizon that encircled and surrounded the land. Nothing could be seen for miles and for miles. The land and the blue above were infinite.
I watched as the big fiery ball climbed above everything else. It shot out orangish-red rays from all direction and made the town brighter. As lovely as the morning was I knew that today wouldn't be horrible. I could only watch from down here, the beautiful shining star.

The place was at peace. There were yellow butterflies. There was a breeze and a wide blue sky. Along the river two old farmers stood in ankle-deep water,
Trees stood underneath, but there was one Treaty Oak Tree that stood out. This tree had think branches and it was as big as a circus tent. The trees had a strong scent and there was a faint smell of Orange Blossom’s in the distance. Tiny bugs flew into my mouth as the plane zoomed through the air.
The ocean can be heard from the side of the dock, the blue water lapping on the side of the boat. I look out on the horizon, amazed by the simplicity yet inspiring beauty of the ocean that runs for miles and miles. Behind me is the land that will become my new home.

The ocean… The sound of the waves applauding and hugging the shore. The internal sounds of the body out in the world’s biggest swimming pool. The echo of my sister’s laughter. The salty smell so strong that one can taste it dancing on ones taste buds.
I feel it radiating into my blood, as my heart skips a beat. Soon, enlightened by a beating pair of wings effortlessly moving up and down, more fragile than the glass that once was sitting on the edge of the table. The fluttering pair of painted silk wings circles my front, as another pair comes into sight, creating a delicate breeze that brushes past my quilted cold cheeks. I manage to smile at the picturesque view in front of me, sending a warm satisfaction to my body as it sparks my heart and floods my eyes with tear-filled blur.
“What a great day for a boat ride,” I thought to myself. It is a cozy warm, shorts and short sleeve shirt day at the time that people are arriving onto the big bulky catamaran. The sky is light blue with some dainty see-through clouds and a slight warm western breeze. I am located on one of the tropical islands of Hawaii, Kauai. The glossy white surface of the boat is blinding because of the reflection from the early evening sun.

I'm moving gently forward, over the wild and beautiful, unexplored world below me. I'm floating in silence, and breaking it up with the sound of my breath. Above me, there’s nothing but shimmery light, the place where I've come from, and will go back to when I am done here. I'm going deeper past the wrinkled rocks and dark seaweed, toward a deep blueness where a school of silver fish wait. As I swim through the water, bubbles burst from me, wobbling like little jellyfish as they rise.
