A moment

I was in a car on the way home, peering out of the windows, once in awhile.

The sunset was gorgeous. Before the sun went down, the vanilla clouds were rimmed with soft golden hues. against a shade of pale sky blue that looks almost warm. (And blue is a cool colour. How do things like that happen in nature.) After some time, hues of pink were added in, much like an afterthought to an already brilliant painting.

Vanilla clouds rimmed with soft golden hues against the pastel pink. I felt like stopping. I felt like getting out of the car. I wanted so much to enjoy the light and colour.

But I reached my destination, got out of the car, and stepped into my home.
