I sit on the shores of the mighty sea remembering those heartwarming days.it feels just like yesterday surrounded by the crystal waters on one side and the beautiful verdant mountains on the other side, childhood danced in those mountains. The tall trees, some fruit bearings, and some others, our silent companions. My friends and I playing hide and seek under their huge canopy. Sitting under the trees and dreaming about the future. Gathering wild berries and dancing with the wind while munching them. In between getting disturbed by a chirp of a beautiful hornbill. Sometimes coming across an anthill. There are those little animals scurrying among the leaves and us curious ones trying to find their origin. Maybe some of my footprints resonate in those mountains. The sea gurgles with memories and I see my father fishing at the bay. Little children throwing stones in the waters and see the ripples carrying messages to the distant shores. The tiny boats far away shining in the shadow of a rainbow. A lingering sigh escapes when I remember those sepia shaded memories.
