Awe

Walking up the steps, I never expected to see what I saw, or feel what I felt. As I stepped out into the sunlight and lifted my eyes to the sky, I witnessed a miracle of man. When I saw Big Ben and the House of Parliament for that first time, I truly knew what it felt like to be in awe.

 My breath quickened and my heart pounded as I stared at the tremendous building in front of me. Each crevice caught the sun as the gold shone brightly in the clear sky. I couldn't believe my eyes. 'Woah' was the only word I managed to speak while I gazed at it unabashedly. I could stare at it for days, but alas, I only had a half an hour before my friends dragged me to the next wonder of London.
