The moment in the quiet little park

As I placed my heavy backpack on the old bench, I feel tiredness coming up to me, as well as the sadness, because I have to spend in the park for an hour just to write some descriptive essay. So I grabbed my pencil and notebook and started to look around, the park was lonely. The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. the yellow light was sickly. It diffused softly through the gray curtains with a shrouded light that just failed to illuminate. High up in the treetops, the leaves swayed, but on the ground, the grass was silent, limp and unmoving. There was me, sitting on the bench, writing this essay. It was a quiet Tuesday late afternoon and not many people appears, I sat there alone on the ancient bench, the cold wind blew at me, and down to my spine. As I looked up In the sky, it is transformed into a colorful horizon; filled with endless streams of orange and red.

The tree by my side soon gathered my interest, on the edge of the bench where I was sitting, the ancient tree sat hunched over, the gnarled, old king of a once vast domain that had long ago been turned to pasture. The great, gray knees gripped the hard Earth with a solidity of purpose that made it difficult to determine just where the tree began and the soil ended, so strong was the union of the ancient bark and grainy sustenance. Besides the ancient tree, there was an enormous baseball park; the grass is green as a precious jade. People with their pets’ plays joyfully on the grass, the enjoyment on their face are precious and reminds me the fairy tale books I use to read back in my childhood age, the quote “ happily ever after “truly exist. Even I barely remember my

    I glanced out of the train window, watching the scenery speed away. Mighty oaks, bristling firs and radiant maple trees were all transformed into no more than colourful pins. The seat beside me lay vacant, as what once sat a wonderful and lovely gentleman, no longer shares with me the long trip home. I stare at the endless mass of space, overshadowing the Earth. The grey radiant clouds, together, began to form a distinctive image of his face, shaping his luminous smile almost to an exact. The subconscious image the clouds attempted to portray, vanished in a matter or seconds, as the white, thick clouds, spread its wings in what was forecasted to be a destructive path. Witnessing this brings me back to the day God wept a silent rain among the mournful souls.…

    We begin our story in the small, beachy forest town of Nopicopolople (pronounced Nop-ee-cop-el-lop-el). Every day, the sun rose brightly over town, and waves crashed upon the beach, creating ripples in the sand. The cool breeze swept over the grass, carrying the sweet scent of dandelions and lavender with them. Every night, the moon shone brightly, letting the sun rest, ending the day with an alluring sunset.…

    The forests between our house and the full-banked river were very beautiful. The wild cherry and the dogwood were in full bloom. The squirrels were leaping from tree to tree, and the birds were making a various melody.” She truly appreciated every aspect of her time with her father, the imagery shows that.…

    It is a bright sunny day; the sky a soft shade of blue and a slight breeze in the air. It was a day of beauty, a day with no soul inside but rather enjoying the delightfulness outside. Stepping out, the concrete on the porch is steamed just enough to stand on bare foot. Off in the distance is the vision of feet coming into sight every couple of seconds as the swing is pushed up. Drivers pass in cars, each in their own trail of thoughts. The windows of every car are rolled all the way down and diverse music roars out from each. Every driver is listening to their own music, but are all enjoying the same day, the same sun, and the same wind rushing into their hair. A younger girl across the street sticks her tongue out at the little boy and starts being chased by him as they dodge a car and skip across the road onto a side walk as they get yelled at by their mother from the kitchen window. Children seeming to be preparing for a lemonade sale and families started to arrange for garage sales, all resulted in sudden laughers, sighs, and loud mowers. Taking a deep breath, it is clear that there are many barbeque lunches planned, the smell of the campfire pits still simmering down from the night before, the smell of all the freshly cut lawn by all the men in the household with no sleeves, no sweater and jeans rolled up on top of their knees. All the family members are out in their yards, trying to take full advantage of the weather, households starting to set up all their new summer toys. Trampolines, swing sets, swimming pools, and brand new dog houses all seem to be appreciating the weather just as much. The sun is out so bright it is piercing to look at directly, so much of the summer heat I can almost taste the thirsty air.…

    The evening sky was alive with vibrant hues of peach, yellow, and orange that slowly ascended to soft pinks and purples as the sun began its descent into the lush green hills. Sweet scents of heather and mist danced in the air to blend with the comforting scent of burning peat rising to greet the emerging night sky. The eventide was filled with the sounds of the birds and livestock as they settled in for the night. Soon the only sounds to be heard would be the soft crackle of the fires, the gentle blowing of the wind, and the soft stillness of the stars as the emerged out of the tender night sky.…

    The open meadow establishes a sense of freedom with no boundaries. The soft shade of green is inviting, but also peaceful. The thoughts of youth start to come back, remembering when you had no worries in the world, other than who would make the sports teams or what you would wear the next day. The tree provides a large fragment of this grass to be shaded, giving you a break from the heated sun.…

    After a few more minutes of walking, I finally arrive at my destination. One foot at a time, I climb the old stone steps up to the cliff. Immediately I feel the strong gusts of wind blowing across my face and whipping my hair back. I hear the sound of waves lapping against the shore, calling to me. I step up to the edge so that the only thing that keeps me from tumbling over into the strong wind is a 4-foot high stone ledge. I lean against the ledge, peering down below. As I looked out, I see the shoreline that has been tempting me with its music for the past few minutes. The water is so many different shades of blue; deep indigo, dark teal, and bright cerulean all in one. Everything just makes me feel like I’m small and nothing compared to the vast stretch before me. In contrast to the slow moving water below me, I see the sky facing me. In the sky, the sun sets like a flaming ball of scarlet fire near the horizon. Even as the dark night creeps closer and closer, the breeze doesn’t slow. In fact, it seems to become even fiercer, bringing the smells of the lake to meet me. I can hear the clip clop of horse hooves on the street down below and the laughs and cries of children playing in the lake.…

    They lead you down a corridor, distance eaten up by your long strides, your umbrella a faithful companion. You see frames of artwork on your right, but it does not interest you, nay, it was the left that enraptures your mind. The setting sun gives a golden glow to the trees outside that sheds their leaves, the seasons slowly transitioning to follow their cycle.…

    As minutes ticked by, the warm rays gradually glowed; he greeted me with a friendly hello. He reached down towards me and shined a streak of light as if he wanted to lend me a hand. The blazing light pierced through my cold skin and gave me an immediate boost of excitement. The sun worked his way up to the sky, distributing its power to everything at its sight. Birds were singing into my ear with high spirits, roaming around the sky trying to claim it for itself. The sky shed its color from dark misty indigo to an illuminated shimmering blue sky. Fluffy clumps of clouds that were covering the sky before slowly fainted away into thin air and the crystal clear waves sparkled like diamond and the cold waters began to heat up. I walked up to the edge of the beach again and dunked my toe into the water. It felt as if my numbed foot from before melted into a puddle mixed with the ocean. My acidic stomach turned to its side as the pungent smell of…

    Energy in the air was inviting, however the temperature was repelling us. Sharp coldness stiffened our hands and brought rosy blush to our cheeks but the irresistible anticipation kept us planted where we stood. Before a hue of violet or a pigment of green could be seen, a crowd gathered, shivering and excited. There was bustle and commotion around us. Everyone was getting settled close together to conserve their heat and to begin to agitate excitement. I took a deep, icy breath as my lungs swelled with air. Overhead, the sparse clouds cleared like opening curtains to reveal the young night. I leaned over towards the warm fragrance and clenched his arm. The air was a stingray nipping at my heels and pinching my nose. Above the vague horizon of pines, the sky suddenly exploded into a splash of colours and patterns.…

    We set together, on the sandstone bench outside her theater class. Being next to her lightened my day and added color to my world. I wanted to tell her that. I wanted to whisper it to her heart. I wanted to let her know that she was the sky, the sun, the air; she was everything and everywhere. But it was too late, by then she had said goodbye and continued on her distinctive path. I then placed my head down to see the dull gray ground. My pupils decreased in size and I then became surrounded by the past. One smile, one look, that’s all it took for her, to sweep me of my feet.…

    An ordinary morning, that’s all it was. At 7:00 I began my short walk, just two doors down, to my aunt’s house. She was a teacher and her son and I would drive in early with her before school began, as we had done all year. The sun was shining bright and my unadjusted eyes had to squint to see. It was a fairly warm day but with a chilly breeze. I could smell the dew from the grass and hear the constant call and answer of the bird’s chirps. I could still taste my breakfast of cereal and chocolate milk. It was January of my second grade year. I was young, happy, and foolish. Around me only the bright green of the grass and trees, and life was as it should be, good.…

    It was two in the morning when I decided to go to Howard Play stead which is a park in Lawrence Street, Lawrence, MA. I just wanted to be alone and forget about life for an instant. I guess almost all of us go through a situation like that in our lives. As I walked through park trying to find a place to sit, there were no lights but the moon's itself; moreover, the weather was fresh and I decided to sit on the children playground swing. The swing's chains were rusty and I could hear it complain every time I swing because of its condition, so I stopped swinging because it was getting noisy, I guess it was the rain's fault that the swings were like that.…

    Leaves rustled down from trees, too tired and weak to hold on. They fell all around the park bench on which Darshit sat. He did this often, he enjoyed sitting on this bench, protected from the heat by the shade of the Bokul tree, and watching the deserted park around him suppressed into silence by the heat. He didn’t enjoy the heat itself; he enjoyed the unique beauty in nature on a hot day such as today. A beauty that most people are unaware of, for when they repulsively recede from the heat, they do so from that beauty as well. He looked up at the spotlessly azure sky, one of the beauties on a hot day, and was conscious of his widening…
