IMAGINE #1 The Rose Garden

You hear the hustle and bustle of the parking lot nearby, many wait long times to get into such a garden, but you were lucky enough to get in today, along with your friends.

You kick a small pebble while waiting for them to catch up, you waited so long to visit here, and the fact that they are here with you makes it all the more exiting. 

sighing with a smile, you look to the sky and feel the incredibly warm sun shine across you’re face, it feels calming, like everything will be okay. You inhale a deep breath and the fresh air relaxes you, letting yourself feel calm and at peace in the space.

Turning around you see your friends behind you. You spin around and urge them on, skipping along the path with them. It all smells like fresh flowers.

You all run along the paths, giggling and making jokes, seeing your friends as carefree and happy as you makes you grin, this is exactly what you wanted, a nice relaxing day, lots of nature and trees, bushes and bees, and roses. So many beautiful roses.

Red, yellow, white. So many colors.

The only noises are of birds and your friends now, far enough down the path and away from everyone else. The dry dirt echoes through the space, along with the more quiet chatter of your friends.

Time goes by and the sun will set soon. You all found an open field with bright green grass, and little daisies along it. Tall tall trees around the perimeter, and you can see the rose garden paths that you just finished walking through behind you. 

A large pastel quilt is draped across the grass, and you all sit on it and get out food from your backpacks. A picnic.

Its serene, calm, perfect. Everything just feels perfect. 

With the soothing sounds of your friends voices and the birds chirping, the sway of all the nature in the light breeze, you feel at peace, finally. 

Laying back on the soft fabric, you put your hands behind your head and breathe out a sigh of relief. This is what you wanted, this is what you needed. This feeling of safety, this feeling of pure relaxation, you can be yourself here. Your friends understand you, they are all here with you to enjoy this moment.

And with one more sigh, you enjoy the warmth on your face and body, the breeze, and the sounds of your friends talking, and gaze upwards to the clouds, closing your eyes, and falling into the best slumber you’ve ever known. 

FIN

This was based off an area I visited a few times when I was a small child. A rose garden in Oregon. I don’t really remember much of it, besides it was beautiful. And there were so so many roses. I wish I could visit there right about now, and lay on a soft quilt with my friends beside me... 

Should I make more of these? And if so, any requests? (:
