A short story of Arts power.
She saw blue and green and that was enough. The blue was grey above and deep infront of her. Green splashed carelessly bellow radiated up to her eyes and entranced her senses making her catch her breath. She took a closer look and noticed that the very air shimmered with the colours of a storm and the more she looked the deeper she fell in love with the hills and the sky, the air and the earth about her. She closed her eyes and let the sweet scents excited her nose, she held her breath as she listened to the sound of the mighty wind and the leaves dancing. Then her eyes snapped open and the coulours, the smells, the sounds and the very feel lifted her heart up high in her chest as her breath shuddered out.
She allowed herself to think only of this pleasure, only of this moment which she knew could only last a short while. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness and through the haze of tears the colours blazed ever more brightly, she felt the wind turn the tears to ice and she relished at that moment her mortality, her vulnerability to feel, to experience and the passion of leaving this perfect place of natural thrills.
“Excuse me Miss? Would you like to buy that painting?”
“Oh sorry, for a moment I forgot myself.”
“Quite understandable Miss, it is a beautiful landscape, and at a very reasonable price!”
“Oh no thank you, I’m afraid I could never stop staring at it, for a part of my is already lost to it and it’s irresistible enchantments.”
The sales woman walked away “the people we get in here sometimes!”
