The Best of Times

Coming home late evening drenched
Sitting and watching pouring rain
Seeing how different the sky looks with just some extra water
With a hot cup of coffee
It was the best of times

Standing on the beach getting feet wet
Watching the waves crash against land
And recede and crash again, and recede and crash again
Nothing but water and sky in the horizon
It was the best of times

Trekking up a mountain
Watching the ground below with every step
Wondering how easily a few thousand feet can take my breath away
Clouds floating below me
It was the best of times

Watching a waterfall
Just some water falling down
Flowing water, falling under gravity, hard, causing a spray
Calm before, calm later
It was the best of times
