Pirates Cove Sunset

I stand before an opening. All color has been shrunken into a tunnel and darkness surrounds. The sun is setting ever so slowly and the reflection of light off the waters edge and extends the horizon into the sky. The color are beautiful and contrast the cave that I am about to enter into. As I walk through the cave a sound seems to permeate from the ground and the I feel that air rush about me as I pass through this "wind tunnel." I am curious. I continue to walk forward and notice that at the end of the cave there is a cliff. The sound of crashing water on rocks still draws my curiosity. I creep to the edge of the cliff and look down. As the waves come in and out the water fizzes and foams about the rocks that protrude from are below. I decide to sit and just lay back. The ground is cool and I can almost taste the saltwater of the updraft from the ocean crashing below. I hear birds chirping from behind and birds cawing from above the sea. I decide to move up the cliff and climb now on top of the cave that I just passed through. It places me into a whole new perspective being up another 15 feet. I hear new noises that were not present before. They are the sounds of others who have come to enjoy this magnificent sunset at Pirates Cove. I hear them approach with excitement in the air. The couple approaches the entrance and then silence falls as they take in this stunning view.
