As I lay in the same soft patch of grass that I had lay in last time, and the time before that. I thought, once again about the beauty of this field. The grass whispered soothingly to me as the summer breeze swept gently through it. The numerous trees outlining the field stood as straight and tall as soldiers ready for a battle and the bright blue sky smothered it like a huge blanket.

The scattered flowers danced happily together as the breeze let them sway back and forth. They lit up as the warmth of the sun hit their faces. Songs came from the creatures that lived together in the field, the peaceful noises creating music for my ears. The ringing noises of cicadas together with the many colourful birds bickering away at each other from the highest branches of the trees. Nature always spoke to me when I came to the field. Here, my mind opened up and it was a place of comfort where I could lie down and think about nothing as the hours passed. But did I really know this place? Unexpectedly the noises stopped and the warmth of the sun had disappeared off my body. The ringing from the cicadas and the bickering of the birds all suddenly stopped. I was alone in the one place I felt connected to. The breeze grew into a powerful wind that forced the flowers and trees to lean to one side. I sat up to find that a heavy, grey cloud had drifted over the field and swallowed the sun whole. I felt afraid. All of a sudden the now grey sky let out a nasty grumble and the rain pushed past the cloud hammering down onto the grass. I sprinted towards the nearest tree to hide under its wide branches where I felt safe. The rain continued to pour onto the field and I curled up next to the warmth of the tree and closed my eyes hoping it would end soon. The next thing I knew, I had just woken up and I looked out in the field to see the most striking view. The animals were back and the flowers were dancing once again. The cloud had set the sun free and disappeared from the field which was left with droplets of rain resting on each blade of grass and each flower petal. I stayed by the tree listened as all the familiar sounds slowly came back helping me to feel relaxed again. Once again I was amazed by the pleasant surprises that filled this delightful place.
