To lie on the grass, a breeze blowing through the willow fronds and flowers. The sun is out, the sky is blue with some fuzzy felt clouds above.
A bee and a butterfly hopping from a golden dandelion to the daisies, pollination in action.
This is pure relaxation, being at one with nature, delighting in the colours of the butterfly wings, and still wondering how a bumble bee can fly.
At the bottom of the garden, there is a stream and you can hear the water running and maybe some ducks paddling there.
All these sounds are so gently perfect, and you close your eyes and float off into a beautiful dream, this is heavenly, and you never want to leave,

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Kissing Cindy
TAUGHT YOUNG Happily ever after was never what she was chasing. Cindyβs stepmother made certain of that. Jealous of a child who still believed in rescue, she taught Cinderella early that princes were not saviors; they were opportunities. That love, once offered, became leverage, and in a kingdom built on power, leverage was everything. She was taught to break hearts the way others broke bread: deliberately, without apology, and always to survive. The woman who taught her to wield love as a weapon would later frame her as a sunset of darkness for using it too well. Beautiful, blamed, and accused of causing darkness.

Sheer bliss. Does it get any better?
Oooo, I'd love to see the ducks! This was so wonderful
Sounds like a summer nap to me <3
If only I have a bear by spot as serene. Great imagery
'Butterflies and Bees Under The Willow Trees' One of the nicest visuals in writing.
What a wonderfully written poem about Spring and nature in general. Good job.
Sounds like a beautiful dream π
