Hearing the announcement telling the next station,
I got off the train.
Looking sideways at shopping centres,
I go through the passage.
Once going the outside,
a sea breeze touch my cheeks.
The news in the morning told me sunny of today,
but it is still cloudy.
Gray clouds cover the sky forming layers.
A few people are walking around the path.
Boats and sea birds
are floating on the sea.
I start to walk along the seaside.
After a while,
I find the weather getting clear.
The blue sky starts to break through the clouds.
Ridges over the sea.
Clouds trailing and fading away.
The gradation of pale blue.
The weather forecast seems to hit “correct”.
I feel my steps lighter.
Anchored boats over there are getting closer.
Lots of boats are anchored neatly.
The sea surface is coloured in blue
such as it absorbs the clear sky.
I take a deep breath.
My body is filled with the sunshine and a sea breeze.
When I notice,
the sun has already risen higher.
I hear the lively noise of construction over there.
Port workers seems to start their work.
Wiping the sweat on my forehead,
I undo the zip of my jacket.
This blue is still attracting me.
One more snap.
I look into a viewfinder.
Just on the centre of the blue sky,
The sun is sparklingly shining.
I take the last snap
narrowing my eyes.
