Autumn Leaves

As you wade leisurely through the knee-deep bronze bristling Autumn leaves, they shriek wildly in extreme trepidation as you progressively crush through their vast ranks. Crunch! Did you know that the copper-like leaves are actually frantic fairies wafting elegantly through the air wrangling where they should hibernate for the swiftly advancing winter? Bristling fairies quickly drop their minuscule eggs from the tree tops letting the wonderful whipping wind carry them away with tiny twigs trailing deliberately behind them. On the gooey ground, the oozing mud waits impatiently to greedily devour another helpless rustling fairy for its colossal dinner. Sturdily, trees are royal kings standing proudly and towering above you while their crimson capes billow behind them in the whistling wind. 
As you silently grab a luscious chestnut, you slowly peel off the rough skin and consume it. While thoroughly enjoying the luxurious taste, you carefully pick up a decaying leaf as a pungent, musty essence wafts through your nostrils. Helpfully, long logs satisfyingly barricade vast amounts of multi-coloured leaves while they rapidly settle themselves for a prolonged, tranquil sleep. Whistling wondrously, the whipping wind dwindles quickly in and out of the various trees. Speedily, animals fastidiously scamper, scuttle and scurry seeking a profound hole to bury themselves jubilantly for the bitter, cruel winter. All around, huge patches of crawling ivy violently suffocate the life out of trees like assassins, whilst evil fungus noxiously poisons innocent animals and plants. Will cruelty ever be banished from this beautiful forest?

Crashing Waves

Crash! As the waves strike the rugged rock. Suddenly, the brutal battle is created! Anarchy is everywhere as the muscular horses of the sea charge at the sorrowful debilitated rocks leaving them in immediate pain. Again, the horses help demolish the invincible unbeatable rocks of steel, however the rocks want revenge. Quickly, the rocks unleash their rage sending the blue waters miles away then beckon it back like a mighty magnet. Seconds later, the battle between two fierce enemies continues, as the waves thump the rocks like a tiger bashing a sinister lion. Unluckily, the courageous horses in battle fall to the bitter bottom of the sea's surface. Up and down, the crashing waves still look to defeat the rocks who still won't give in. Aargh! The rocks shriek as the sorrowful rocks dramatically howl as the waves carry on punishing the poor rocks who are in extreme agony. When will it end? Slowly, the rocks start crumbling, howling and screaming out loud. As the sky looks down, all he could think is why the sea was so angry?

Mountain Landscape

Gently, the lovely, cool air slips silently through your fingertips. You breathe in the fresh air through your mouth and taste the bitter coldness. All the same, you are suspended in a scene of natural beauty. Thankfully, the extremely wonderful place has lifted a whole weight off your shoulders. You feel protected and comforted like you do at home whilst you are with all the wonderful wildlife. Now everything seems completely personalised as you lift off the ground, feeling extremely light, to a world of fantasy... 
Lazily, the bright golden coin bobs up and down on a fluffy white cloud in the clear, blue sky. Clumsily, you stumble towards the tent of the tall towering trees to get into the shade, as the sun flashes and winks at you in the sky. Beautifully, the blissful lake flows gently by the side of a mountain. For all their life, all the wonderful wildlife will be contented with nothing to disturb them. 
Proudly, a chalk white mountain stands confidently whilst trees wave happily to the sapphire blue tide and is beckoned in by the wind's ghostly hand. As if holding its breath, the land is as silent and blissful as a cheerful young child sleeping. Often, the only sound is the wind galloping over the mountain of ambitions. Rocks sit waiting for a lovely, warm gush of water to skim over them. Gradually, waves run out of the lake, turn, and dive back in with a swish! It's like a whole other world belonging to you, like a world of dreams. Beautifully, the ice ripples once or twice before returning to the crystal mirror of the world. The leaves are thousands of people cheering endlessly. Anarchy has always and will always be forbidden. A marvellous mountain casts a shadow of happiness above all.

Beach Scene

As the sun rises with a cool breeze, a gentle swish of golden sand blows quickly through the air. In the distance, the puffy clouds run happily enjoying the sunny morning air. As they have fun, they form magnificent pictures! Proudly, the lonely palm tree stands, hovering over the never-ending blue. Its long leaves hanging dangerously, are ready to fall... One by one, the coconuts on the palm tree fall painfully with a bash and elegantly the golden fairies fly up and land in the mysterious never-ending water with a plop. Underneath your relaxed feet, you feel the warmth of the golden blanket in between your toes and the water splashing in your face. You smell the salty water drifting all around the place. Fascinatingly, the silent sea is still and crystal clear. Suddenly, a baby dolphin jumps up out of the sea and in a flash, it disappears. Brightly, the beautiful beach glistens in the blazing sunlight. Often, the tide beckons the glorious water in. Tenderly, the sun gives the world a fascinating glow. Enthusiastically, the golden beach makes the world shine and a better place.

Winter Pathway

Picture
In the freezing middle of Winter, the radiant sun shines down upon what is left of the grass, and announces that the snow has fallen and the battle has begun. Howling in encouragement, the wind beckons for one side or the other to win. Determined clouds send sparkling snowflake armies down, whilst the silent snowflakes casually twirl and discuss plans before moving away. On the ground the emerald green grass is desperately trying not to get smothered by the snow on top. Suddenly, the snow, fierce as a tiger, begins to fall faster. All the while, Spring is waiting her turn. Terrified trees, the borders of the battlefield, soon become dressed by winter with cloaks and hats as white as the clouds above them. 
Nearby, whistling winds bring twigs from their homes to start the never-ending journey to the horizon. Crash! A clap of thunder signals the start of rain- a reminder of hope for the down spirited grass. After the rain, the snow falls like never before. Having nearly given up, the grass beckons to Spring for help and all of a sudden the snow begins to melt. The grass jumps in excitement. They had won. If you go there in winter, you will see this happen before your very eyes and if you do, then just remember that the war is always raging between the snow and the grass.
