A Brief Moment

Sitting on some stairs overlooking the lake I feel a refreshing balance of contentment and joy. I hug my knees as blonde hair softly whips around my shoulders. My senses entertain me as goosebumps appear scattering down my legs and forearms when a wave of cool air passes over, and disappear when the sun breaks through the seemingly clear skies. My mind, eager for stimulation, begins processing the way the fine ripples in the water dance and the way the trees bend as the wind combs through their branches. I take a sip of pomegranate soda and apply some peppermint Chapstick. This moment feels so innocent and care free. So good and simple. After some time of sitting, I notice my shoulders blushing from the heat and reach for my flip flops. It was calming while it lasted.
