Walking by the river

[Vinay]

It was a gathering of families and we were early. Or was everybody else late? Someone suggested a walk down to the river while we waited; I happily agreed. The sun was setting - pink and orange tinged the horizon. A cool, gentle breeze caressed my arms and face. As we walked downhill, I breathed in deeply, finding the fresh air almost intoxicating.

We reached a short jetty at the water. As I walked onto it, time seemed to slow down. Ducks were speaking to each other all around us. I looked out across the river towards the bridge. Normally a dull grey, tonight, at this moment it seemed to be bathed in gold - like a surreal, sparkling mystery, out of place in its surroundings. Its colour slowly changing, to orange, and then a red ochre as the sun continued its journey behind us.

Turning my gaze to the left, I followed the trees spotting the beach downstream to a house that lay on a short peninsula. Behind it, the blue sky lay impassive, serene, with clouds that looked like they had been swirled in curves by a painter holding a brush. I stood still, looking into the distance, water all around me. Just breathing. And in that moment, all I could do was wish that you were here, holding my hand, and walking with me. Sighing, I turned around and walked back up.
