I'm back home, on my mountain by the sea.
I close my eyes
I can hear the boat engines, the children laughing.
Water is splashing, the seagulls are screaming.
I feel the sun burning on my face,
and the wind cooling it off.
I open my eyes
I see all the tiny islands and the boats that looks like toys.
They're almost in a straignt line, heading for the horizon.
The sun hitting the water surface makes it look like a glittering sea.
It blinds me.
Everything does.
The beauty of my hometown.
I stand up and feel the salty wind grabbing my hair.
I breathe the fresh air,
I breathe the laughter, the peace, the ocean.
I am alive.
