Boracay Sunset

Sunsets at 5:30 and is spectacular. Gentle waves lapping on the White Beach. Silhouetted sailboats coast in the foreground on shimmering dark cobalt blue ripples.

Amber, soft magenta gives rise to pale yellow to be crowned by grey periwinkle blue with pillows and tufts of grey stretched across like a pulled cotton bud. In the far distance, a storm darkens a section, reaching the gray tuft all the way to the water.

Lighting flashes, exposing the islands beyond. Relaxing music emanates from the hotel behind me and a candle lights my little table on the soft sand. Heaven might be like this.
