Travelogue

I could see a swathe of green all around me. I was walking in a beautiful field, surrounded by white daisies and the sound of birds singing gaily. The sky was blue with orange undertones. There was a certain sweetness in the air. As I strolled in the field with a book in my hand, I could feel the early morning air caressing my face gently. 

I kept my book on the grass and sat down to admire the beauty of the flowers. The daisies were swaying as the wind blew, as though they were enjoying the weather too. Their petals were covered with tiny droplets of mist. They covered a vast area of the field with their splendour and vigour. 

I picked up my book which had gotten slightly wet due to the dewy grass and continued my stroll. The air around me was foggy and covered the field, the hill, and the pine trees with its glorious, transparent canopy. I continued reading while the birds and their sweet melody gave me company. I could feel a newfound serenity inside me. After a while, a bright ray of sunlight touched the pages of my book. I looked around and witnessed the beauty and grandeur of the golden hour. 

Sunlight grazed the entire field with its soft, warm streaks. A part of the sun was hidden behind the hill as it touched the branches of the pine trees with its glow. The rays draped the daisies with a splendid, faded yellow colour. The hill looked magnificent, with its summit decorated with the glimmer of sunshine.

The beauty of the scenery rose feelings of freedom and tranquillity within me. I felt as though I had just escaped, from being imprisoned for a long time. I looked at the view again and tried to take it all in. All-around me I could feel the peace that mother nature brought with itself. 

I started running against the wind while letting out a scream of joy as a cheer for my freedom. I felt exhilarated and optimistic.

Suddenly, I fell on the grass. I tried to get up but to no avail and felt trapped. I looked at the birds in the sky who were flying cheerfully, without any restraints. 

After that, I woke up with a jolt as my alarm clock went off. I felt the sadness and yearning inside me as I realised everything was a dream. I brushed it off and got out of my bed to freshen up and start my day.

It was early in the morning and sunshine poured through my window. I looked outside and saw the birds flying freely and singing cheerfully. I sighed and opened my laptop to log into my online school.
