Everyday Miracle

 

Sitting by the Manila Bay gazing at the sky and waiting patiently for the sun to depart is something that I have always loved to do. No matter how bothersome the noise coming from the chattering crowd is; the sunset could definitely bedazzle everyone. It is always a spectacle to watch as the sun changes its color to a magnificent orange and slowly makes its gracious exit. The reflection it makes in the sea water is another brilliant display of the beauty of this moment. Colors change with the movement of each passing current. The sun and the sea move too swiftly in unison, dancing in a song with every step as perfect as possible. Then, after a few blinks this moment is bound to pass leaving me breathless. It would not matter how long I have waited to witness such scene for it is worthwhile.

 

I have never felt that euphoric. I have never been so lured by a beauty such as that. It’s heavenly, simple and immaculate. The sunset never fails to fascinate me. That brief moment that separates the day from the night is such an amazing treat, a miracle. It lifts up my spirit. It lifts up many spirits. The moment is indeed picturesque. Proofs to that are the numerous postcards that depict the rare beauty of what seems like the union of the sun and the sea. Such moment is truly astonishing.

 

It has always been a favorite to artists. With its bright colors that seem like a mixture of all variety, any person drawn to the arts would definitely find inspiration from it. The wonderful ensemble of elements; the sun, sea and the sky, is quite a rare beauty worthy of being captured on a canvass. The brilliant display of rays, cutting through clouds and extending far beyond, is an abstract in its own form. The glorious descent of the sun is indeed an art in itself.

 

The scenic beauty of the setting sun has also graced a lot of wedding receptions. The union of the sun and the sea is akin to that of the hearts of two souls bonded by love. The dimming light of the sun as it slowly succumbs to the night giving way for the moon adds up to the romantic set up. It gives the needed intimacy when couples exchange their vows. The silhouette it makes of the couples kissing is such a sight that needs to be captured on film.

 

The Manila Bay sunset is only one of the many spectacular showcases of this world’s beauty. It is such a sight and the best thing about it is that it is for free. It just goes out to show that the best things in life are indeed free. Too bad that people these days that are pretty much occupied on making a fortune and building their future miss out on the chance to enjoy it. And as for me, no matter if I have witnessed a thousand of sunsets in Manila Bay, I am still as eager to witness some more. For every sunset is quite different from the last one. It may go about the same pattern and time, it is still beautiful nonetheless. It is always great to be a witness to an everyday miracle.
