The Enchanted Balcony

There's a single balcony that juts out of the fourth floor of my college building. Strategically, it's been placed on the library & meeting room floor. And it has done justice on those difficult days after difficult meetings, bringing solace to all those who just stand there. There never are tears and there never is anger. Just a calm that washes over to all those who step onto this balcony, desperate to unload.

I was lying in bed, all set to go to bed. Daniel Beddingfield's Never Gonna Leave Your Side started playing. And for some reason, I drifted there. I was there, standing on that balcony, the gentle breeze sweeping across my face. And that same calm washed over me again.

So profound the power of that enchanted balcony..
