my so called life: Blog Giveaways

Calming one's soul

I slammed the backdoor of our house and then took the path leading to the woods. I felt so bad and angry. I had to get away. Away from all of this, away from everything. I didn't know what to do. I felt like crying. A rabbit crossed my path and I kicked a stone out of the way as I went deeper into the woods. Why does everything have to be this way? I asked myself. Squirrels were scampering up a tree and annoying birds were so noisy. Why do I have to feel this way? So many questions needing to be answered. I pushed through grasses and trod on some flowers. Suddenly I came upon a clearing where a pond lay at the center. I stopped, sat down on the grass and looked at it for a moment. I saw the sun starting to set behind the trees casting a serene and solemn look at the woods. It caught my breath. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.It was reflected in the pond's calm water, giving off different vibrant colors blending with the lush trees around me.

I closed my eyes and breathed in the fresh air and felt a soft breeze on my face. I smiled and savored the moment wishing it would last forever. I remained still for a moment then stood up and walked back to the path where I came from. I stopped, looked back at the pond then at the setting sun and smiled. As I started going back home, I noticed squirrels playing with one another running up and down the trees enjoying what is left of the day. I saw grasses with lots of beautiful flowers. I stopped for a moment, touched one flower's petal and saw rabbits looking up at me with wonder. As I headed again for home, I could hear the beautiful melody of the chirping birds around me. I reached the back door of our house, took one last look at the woods, opened the door, and as I went inside, I closed the door as quietly as I could.
