Before the Sunset

Before the Sunset

Are u merry or gloomy?

Merry?: Go ahead read
Gloomy?: Read this right now!

Imagine...

Sunny day in the mountains...Sunlight like a golden shower, illuminating nature.
The trees as vibrant as ever - rich green like a beaming child thrilled with joy.
Light breeze playing with your hair.
You are walking down a path lined with trees. No traffic, no screams... blissful void with angelic chirps.
The soothing greenery - such a mysterious pleasure!
Trotting along, you come to a valley. Vast stretches with lush grasslands. Purple Mountain Lupines - auroral across the meadow, swaying in the wind... Magical!
Like imperial flowers reigning all hearts.

All the emptiness seems to drain out... you take deep breaths...Carve your sign on a pine bark to feel intrinsic.

All of a sudden while retreating, you bump into a treasure!
- a book fair.
A book fair...amidst greenery, atop heights! What a wonder!
Books arranged in tiny stalls, adorned with white Jasmine.
New, old, and a stall for even used books which is a mystery itself.
A distinct enigma, a calming smell.
The place feels like reading Bond.

Birds are calling, so is the sunset.
You start walking away, into the woods, to the hilltop, for a perfect ending.
