It does tend to happen everyday and I dont think that dreamers, mermaids or poets ever tire of them. Love the monochrome sea having lost its colour in the abscence of the sun, then the crimson sky graduating to that flourescent yellow. It is lovely.This reminds me of a desire to be at sea and not see land on any horizon.........but the colourlessness of the sea here with its drawing of the curtains for the night sends a shudder thru me as I feel my utter insignificance against something so huge, vast and deep, and in the oceanI have this aching lonliness. I catch myself wanting to run to the safety of the known for me.......the land and the warmth of the beach fire, the sound of voices and a guitar, smoke on taned skin. Id still like to experience that landless horizon oneday. I may have to feel warmer than I do now! Beneath the sea I have always imagined the nightlife starting on many sunsets such as this camping..as the day closes and life goes on underneath the waves, different lights turn on..and I walk the cold sand by the sea after the hot day listening to the waves..........in the fading light
