In the arms of the wind.

  As I sat on the beach tonight, looking at the stars and letting the sand run through my fingers, a smile crept along my face. As I looked out onto the ocean and saw a whale come up for air, my skin trembled. As I listened to the wind sweep through the palm trees, I couldn't help but sigh. I laid back and looked up to the sky. The stars littered the blackened canvas, creating their own patterns within the skies masterpiece. My heart was swollen with content, breathing in the smell of the ocean and exclosing it within my lungs for as long as I could, as if doing so would keep the memory within me forever. I was captured, captured within the illusion this night took me into. Nothing could hurt me , for the stars looked down on me and the wind held me within it's arms. I wish I could have shared it with all the people close to me, all the people that would have been able to understand the magic of that moment.  I wish I could have taken ahold of your hand and whispered in your ear "Come with me, into the arms of the wind."

QOTB: The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose.
