A turning point

A turning point

The sunset at the beach, with a promising sky.

Waves rolling in, crashing as they hit the shore. The sea foam forms and just like that it disappears.

A rock in the way, and you’ve missed it, a few minutes late and the drive went to waste.

The breeze of the beach mixed with the ocean smell takes you back to the days when you were a child.

Cars zoom by as people try to get to their destination. It’s two hours passed five.

Watching the sunset is a peaceful moment.

It’s a moment where everything makes sense, and you realize that you’re alive; It gives you hope of living to see the sun ascend. It’s a moment that makes you forget all about the stressful day you’ve already lived. But all at once it makes you realize that some people didn’t live to see another sunset. You realize that life is full of uncertainty, and that it might be you who doesn’t live to see five years from now…

Take it all in, every single hope and uncertainty.

Let yourself be there to feel the moment because it won’t come again.

Watch the sky turn a different color once the sun is down. Watch it go from a glowing rose, to a pale blue violet.

Let it be the turning point in your album, and drive back to “How Do You Feel?”

Don’t let this feeling leave your side and carry it with you through the scary tides, because the sea foam forms, and just like that, it disappears.
