Shivering from the evening breeze but cocooned in the warmth of the sunset, I chided myself for being so forgetful. It somehow eluded me that the sky, unobstructed, was supposed to be a kaleidoscope full of wonder 🌅.
.
When the night sky finally made an appearance, it shimmered magnificently, courtesy of the countless stars that greeted me like old friends I hadn’t seen since forever 🌌.
.
The soft chimes of the bells were delivered by the wind, they nuzzled my ears tenderly. It was so tranquil my own heartbeat sounded uproarious. .
.
I was suddenly homesick, though I didn’t even know what it was that I felt homesick for.
