See life blossom

A lazy winter afternoon. A warm sun shining in the western skies. A gentle breeze blowing.

“Does paradise look any different?” he thought while sipping some hot coffee, sitting in his garden.

This garden was his retreat. From sorrows, failures, pain… all the ugly things out there.

He would pour his heart out to the plants. He would join the bird that sang from the topmost branch of the Mango tree he had planted years ago. The flowers would soothe his senses with their colours and scent.

He lay down on the grass and closed his eyes. As the breeze caressed his entire body, he could feel all his pain go away.
