Walk, 久しぶり

 

昨日、久しぶりに家から歩いて10分くらいのところにある植物園に行きました。おなじみの景色が昔の友達のように迎えてくれました、 恋しいことに気づきました.

 

小さな道沿いには、緑豊かな木、 赤らむBougainvilleaの綺麗な色、 水をすすりながら、水辺に浮かぶ楽しそうな鳥たち、 ジョージという名前の黒い白鳥、頬に触れたそよ風、まわりで遊ぶ子供達の笑い声、 草の上に座ってピクニックをしているカップル、 太陽の匂いが新鮮な草の匂いと混ざり合っています、山のむこうにしずみつつある夕日もとても綺麗です。

 目を閉じて、この瞬間とその気持ちを思い出そうとします. いつも私のためにそこにいてくれてありがとう。

Botanic garden is only 10 minutes away from my home.  But I have not been there latterly.

Yesterday, I finally was able to went there for a walk. The familiar scenery greeted me like old friends.  I realised how I missed them:-

The tall trees with lush green and rough bark standing along the small trail; the blushing redness of Bougainvillea displaying her extravagance; the lazy birds sipping water and floating along the water bank, of course, our old friend George, the black swan we named….. .

Also here were, the breeze gently touched my cheek, the smell of sun mixed with freshness of grass, far and near, children’s laughers; and a few couples scattering around in the meadow….

All of those were so familiar yet somewhat became indistinct to me…... 

I closed my eyes and tried to remember this moment and relished the feeling inside…… Thanks for being there always for me.
