That House

(Inspired by a photo I took in Oban Bay, looking at the Isle of Kerrera) April 2017

————

The house is now just an empty chest of memories. It had gained life when a young couple moved to the Island. Both were ambitious and happy, enjoying the breeze at sunset and observing every gesture of every people in the small town. There was never anything that could separate them. No conflicts, only a peaceful harmony.

One day, they went sailing. The weather was good and a joyful calmness in the air was even possible to taste. It was the perfect day. But the boat never reached to dock. Some say their adventurous spirits made them cross dangerous waters and the worst happened, others say they temporarily left and that someday will come back.

It could have sounded the ideal love story if only this note had not been left: ‘’ You can only stay when you truly belong’’.
