Countryside

The sun shone on me. At last I was here, with the sun beaming down on me. The one place that I could be myself, without anyone judging me or thinking ill of me for doing so. The overwhelming freedom surrounded me, nobody could touch me here. Any trespassers I would see coming, but i knew they wouldn’t stay long.

The village looked like a mouse from here the hill where i sat was so high. Yet i could still make out the silhouettes of people in the distance, untroubled like i was. Calming me, the spring breeze blew through my hair, rustling the leaves of the blossom covered trees behind me. Sheep baaed in the distance, which echoed off of the surrounding hills. Freshly cut grass was the smell all around me, as I sat there above it all.

Feeling safe at last I drifted downwards so that I was now gazing at the sky. I was immediately absorbed by the endless sapphire above me. Though the occasional fluffy, small,
ruined its dazzling appearance, however peaceful they were.
Sitting up, as I had just heard the gentle scattering of a creature nearby, I noticed that something had changed. The sun still shone on me. This change was so subtle that I hadn’t realised it until now. This change was not a bad one, though I think the shock of it kept me motionless there for a minute or so regardless. A different shade of blue mixed with that of the sky.  It moved as if it were fairy’s dancing.
A stream, one which had never been here before, was gliding down the hillside nearby. I walked over to it. To me it was as though angels had brought it by some magic as a sign to me that through these troubles times of mine that everything was going to be okay, it was telling me to smile and I did. This perfected the landscape beyond all else. Small fish were swimming joyfully in the stream beneath my feet, moving with the water. Like skaters on ice they were in there element. The sun still shone on me.
Suddenly, it was gone. The beautiful surroundings, that had made me feel as though I was in a dream, had disappeared right in front of my eyes. The sight of my mother, storming up the hillside towards me had made it all turn into blurred shapes. Fear shot through me like lightening. I was in for it now. Something I’d done had managed to annoy her, as always. My mum was like an erupting volcano, destroying all in its path and stopping for nothing and building in intensity be the second. At that the sun had gone.
until next time the sun, the moon and the clouds with the magical wings ask you to smile because you deserve to :P x
