There is so much beauty on this planet and not all of it can be shared.

Sitting alone in your room, the light of the sun dancing on your walls, listening to music that seemed to be made for this moment, echoing and brining sound to your feelings.

Summer is turning into fall, the dwindling sun shining through the still-green trees, some leaves highlighted, some not. The lines of spider's webs become visible, even though they are far away. The clouds, once gray and heavy with rain, appear light and white now that their burden has been released.

This is one of the few times you can look at the sun without it hurting your eyes. You wish that there was someone there to share this with, or that you had a camera, even though they never do these scenes justice.

The soft breeze whispers its way through the forest, making the lighted leaves glitter and dance. The light on the trees intensifies and then diminishes as clouds obscure the light of the sun. As the sun continues its path, you are amazed at how fast it sinks to the horizon. The clouds turn a light shade of gold, or pink, or red, whatever colors the sun wishes to show you that night.

You see animals eating the grass outside, birds flying through the air. The movement reminds you that you are not looking at a painting, but at life. The clouds break to show you the pale blue sky. The trees look almost black with the sun's rays behind them—charcoal drawn over pastel.

It's so simple.

You've seen scenes like this all your life, but you can never get over their beauty. You have seen many more beautiful scenes than this; more colorful, more extravagant….but sometimes the most beautiful in life can be the most simple.

Your heart almost bursts with joy and wonder at the intoxicating scene unfolding before you. And yet some people are so busy they don't stop and spare a glance around them, oblivious to what you can see. You pity them, but continue to watch in silence, watching as the sky turns ablaze with colors.

You will never look at this spot the same way again, always remembering how it was at this moment.

You don't want to turn away from the beauty you've found, but know that whether you leave or not, the light of the sun will fade, leaving everything in shadow…Until the moon and its stars start to shine on their blanket of blue.
