A silhouette can be seen standing on a hill, facing towards the ball of fire that had been slowly dying - saying farewell as it turned the sky into a sea of blazing fire. A small smile formed on the stranger's face as its eyes gazed affectionately at the fading sun. A beautiful sunset with the music of nature had given the stranger a sense of comfort and peace that she never knew she needed.
Closing her eyes, she felt the wind engulfing her in their fiery embrace. A giggle that can tickle the hearts of a man flowed out of the cherry lips of the elegant lady that slowly danced with the breeze. Her skirt that curved into an elegant arc as she twirled, brought an indescribable feeling if one would have seen the charming scene.
The sky slowly turned into a blanket of darkness that is drizzled with diamonds, the lady swayed as she slowly looked up at the breathtaking view of the sky. Her eyes twinkled in delight as billions of stars winked at her as if trying to catch her attention. Sighing in admiration as she stands rooted drunk to the beauty of the sky.
Trying to reach out and selfishly claiming maybe just even one beautiful stone that is just hanging up on the sky. But she knew she can't, a heavenly beauty shouldn't be tainted with a touch of a human. 'We are gifted to give life and to give death, but sometimes we lean to our gift of killing because of greed, desperation, and suffering.'
Such thoughts twirled inside the lady's mind as she slowly sat down, dirtying her white dress. Her hair that had been caressed by the wind, brought her another sense of peace as a smile formed on her exquisite face. Tears silently raced down her cheeks - it was not tears of sadness, nor tears of joy, it was tears of relief. Relieved to know she is not lonely being alone. She had the whole world with her in this time of aloneness.
She might be deemed crazy, but even the wild flowers that are leaning towards her is like an act of comfort that she will never be alone. The insects that are singing in the night, the stray animals that are calling out, the nature that is playing a beautiful melody - all of these are things to be treasured and not to be trifled with.
There is so much more that the world can offer, it is not limited as you let yourself open your mind to new doors of discoveries. With this in her head, she gently stands up and walks to the true darkness of the night back to the reality where cruel humans duel in their closed-off life.

Waking up to the sound of bustling cars, it irritated a certain gal. A sigh can be heard as she rose up from her warm comfort. A breath of air, smelling the scent of life. She looked around her room filled with potted ornamental plants with a tired but serene expression. A surprised laughter erupted from the newly awoken lady as her cat jumped to her arms greeting her a good morning with an affectionate purr. She giggled and patted her kitty as she thought of her recollection of the moment of peace and enlightenment she had earned in the past.
"I dreamed of a dream I badly wanted to achieve. But the world is ever changing and things will turn unexpectedly - our goals will be hindered and more difficult to achieve. Why is peace so hard to achieve? Sometimes you will have to make it to be able to experience, even if it is just for a moment - it will not just come to you, but during that moment, I was very glad it suddenly came to me. Peace comes and goes, and that memory being replayed in my head where I experienced a moment of serenity, when I was the most down, it was the most beautiful moment ever in my life."
She looked at her cat smiling, and caressed its fur affectionately as she listened to the bustling world outside. "It had been years since I experienced that raw addictive feeling of being content and being unflustered - it was even just for a moment of time. Maybe I should visit our province again." She said as she got up from her warm duvets. "Such a beautiful memory that greeted me good morning, maybe things won't be hard for me for this day." She said as she looked out of her window, looking at the busy surroundings; relishing the remnants of peace she felt. It took her on another round of daydreaming as she smiled at the clear blue sky, the only star on that wide blue ocean was smiling brightly at her - giving her a glimpse of serenity she would find at the province. "I hope nothing will change when I'll get back there." She smiled as she stared far ahead, wishing she could see the calmness of their place again. "Alright, that is enough for now. I should go get ready for work." Dancing slowly to the melody she created, she proceeded to live again in the harsh reality.
