Serenity

You sit near a fountain in the middle of the mountains. The sun's warmth blazes upon you, relaxing every muscle. You close your eyes, and just listen to the beauty of sounds nearby. You hear the sound of birds, tweeting rhythmically around you. You hear the chatter of other people; laughing, singing, talking, and the sound of splashing in the water. You open your eyes, and your vision has never seemed so perfect. Everything around seems to emit its own radiance: every sign, every face, pure beauty. You see colors more vivid than ever. The beautiful, green mountains in the distance seem to beckon. They call you to become as majestic, to grow as high. You take in a breath, the air feels fresh and clean. Its as if you had been stuck in smog your whole life, then suddenly it vanished. You feel the breeze against your skin, the warmth of the sun emanating unto your entirety. You close your eyes, and just listen. To the sound of water, falling from the skies. As it taps the ground, in a slow, constant pattern, your mind drifts off. It slowly lulls you into your dreams.
