Auro Beach

Auro beach in rain looks like a wet heaven. It just melts away all that you are. All that is left behind in the sand is an emptiness, blissful emptiness. That day it was only two of them on that beach. They looked at the sea silently, feeling the waves that crashed on their feet. The waves were mesmerizing. They could see nothing but their changing colors. Feel nothing but the coolness of the water on their feet. The wind orchestrated its music in their ears. Singing away a song of life in all its glory. The song seemed to reach their hearts, weaving a canopy of peace with the threads of their heartbeats. They held hands.
They started walking on the beach and smiled at the sand on their feet. It seemed to change colors. Near the water it was velvety smooth, its cream color spreading thin over the dry beach. From there, it seemed to change into a path that felt like salt spread over velvet, a dark brown color. A little way ahead it mixed with the yellow of the beach with shells and pebbles spread wide and far. They walked on all three feeling their texture on the feet. Then they climbed a little hill of rocks spread on one end of the beach. They hopped on the rocks while the raindrops tingled their skins. It slipped down their mouths and made them giggle. They reached the end of it and for a long time kept staring at the never ending blue. 

They silently sat on the rocks and saw the blue turning into the frothy white and settling into sea green. Below their dangling legs they could see the reefs being colored different shades of red and green by the water. The girl smiled and looked at the boy. "You know what I think, I think that there is a magical world under there. There are mermaids living with mermen who fly to the moon in the night. When the world goes to sleep of course". With this she lost herself in her magical world and the boy silently rested his head on her shoulder, linking his fingers with hers. No one knows if he listened to what she was saying. But he did fly with her to an unknown world, where no one existed but they.
