There simply aren't enough trees in this world. Their roots are ripped right out of the ground to make space for malls, shops, and parking lots. Resting beneath the decadent branches of a tree, I was reminded of the natural beauty and comfort these beings provide.
The leaves rustled as a soft breeze drifted by. Even as I laid back beneath the sun, I was sheltered by a thick canopy. It was amazing how many hues of green I could distinguish within a single tree as I looked up. However, the most striking attribute associated with trees, in my opinion, is their smell. While images of trees are freely available nearly everywhere, one cannot truly appreciate nature without experiencing the earthy yet clean scent. It's a shame these little details are overlooked by most.
I love the contrast between roots being ripped from the ground to the detail about leaves rustling in the breeze. The second paragraph reads more slowly and calmly than the first, gives the piece a sense of tranquility. Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteVery good imagery in both paragraphs, though I wished you would have gone on for longer, but it is still a beautiful, short piece. (:
