Evening Glow

The color was neither sky-blue nor pale red. In other words, it was both, sky-blue and pale red. It was not purple. The colors have never mixed. Large wave of sunset cloud was looking down on me as if it were a dancing dragon. I was at the station on the way home. It was usual evening… without the scenery.

I saw a woman standing on pedestrian bridge of the station. She took out her cellular phone from her bag to take a picture of the beautiful sunset cloud. I wished I could do the same thing. Unfortunately I had no camera with me. She took picture and sent it to someone. I wonder who the receiver was, and what did he or she thought about the picture. I wonder that if I took a picture of the beautiful color, the color would be preserved. I don’t think so, because the colors changes according to my feeling. I breathed deeply, and felt cool wind on my cheek.

I looked up the sky again finding it’s difficult to find same dancing dragon in the little bit dark sky. I couldn’t take picture of it, but I think this beautiful sunset preserved in my heart forever.
