As I sit on the grass, I look at the view that is placed in front of me.
From the bright yellows to the deep oranges of the sun setting and the shades of greens that rest within the grass; making the atmosphere calm and settled. Looking over the reefs I can see coloured corals and marine life resulting in meaningful thoughts. I lie down, close my eyes and gaze into the bright blue sky. Thoughts run through my head.
Images of the last moment spent with him, holding him in my arms. I could almost feel his warmth against me. Then as the sun set to rest, I scattered his remains for it was one wish he told us that he was very passionate about when it was his time.
I opened my eyes and slowly drift back into reality. Every emotion represented by a colour. Yellow; happiness - Orange; distress - Red; anger - Purple; relaxation - Dark blue; restlessness - Light blue; admiration - Green; envy, all of which are only few.
I wake to a dark night sky. The stars twinkling, the moon shining and the deep sea sparkling.
It was a realisation to how much impact colour has on life, love, hate and even death.
The world itself would not be the same without the millions of colour we cross paths with on a regular day to day basis.
