A Writing Piece

Hello my lovely readers!
I know most of you are here for the fashion but I'd like to share a piece of my writing that I recently wrote.



As I lay here, I feel the warm, summer breeze. I see the loose stands of grass tumble around freely, while dancing to the rhythm of nature. A loud humming of machines interrupts the soothing balance. When I close my eyes I can hear baby birds chirping and the happy chatter of nearby children playing. I run my fingers along the rough and grainy exterior of the rock that I am sitting on, and the sun is beating down upon my body. People walk across my path and for a second I catch a glimpse of what they’re saying. Clusters of vibrant magenta morning glories sway with the wind. I take in a deep breath and inhale the sweet, yet subtle fragrance that swirls in the air. If it weren’t for the streets lights, the tall stone buildings, and the raging sirens blaring in the background, it would be as if I was sitting in a soft, grass-filled plain. There are people eating nearby and the smell of fried food drifts under my nose. A stone paved walkway has cracks filled in with moss, giving away the old age of the area. I see an ant carefully crawl onto the stones and escape to safety by leaping gracefully into the grass. For a second everything is peaceful, but then a strong gust of wind blows my way, and everything jumps to life again. An old, brown, crusty leaf blows my way with a pitter-patter sound on the pavement. I look up and see the sky covered with clouds, except in the areas where the sun cautiously peeks through, like a baby playing his first game of peek-a-boo. The scenes of nature make me want to jump in and join them.
