The mesmerizing forest.. [OLD]

The mesmerizing forest

You slowly step out of your room, put your hand on the door with the golden doorknob and close it quietly.

As you walk down the long reddish brown stairs, you hear nothing, nothing at all. It's still completely dark outside, you don't even have to look at the time to know exactly that its about 4:30 am and the sun should just start to rise in a couple minutes.

You've finally come to the end of the gnashing old stairs.
You then begin to slowly walk down the old wooden floor, that's decorated with a big blood-red carpet with a lot of small golden flowers embroidered on it, which makes the big, old building look even more like a rich castle out of a princess movie.

After a few more carefully took steps you've reached the end.
You carefully reach out for the door handle, as you touch it you feel the warmth of the silver on your palm, you stop for a second and take a look over your shoulder.

As you open the big wooden door you hear a loud, high gnashing sound echo through the room, you step out and close the door quietly, you don't wanna get caught.

As you vigilantly walk down the road of the streets, you notice that the sun slowly, almost not noticeable began to rise, it was maybe just an inch, but you still noticed it, thanks to your eagle-like eyes.
You're surprised, but don't wanna panic, so you just start to quickly walk towards your destination.
As you do, you start to hear the birds slowly wake up and get ready to chirp their songs.
You panic.
You realize that its slowly starting to begin, you run, you don't care if you trip, you blend out everything else,
you need to get to your destination, quickly.

After running for a few moments more, you start seeing your winning post, the forest.

You run and run until you're deep into the forest, you look around and see many different trees, oak trees, birch trees, loblolly trees and even some beautiful red maple trees.

But you don't have time to marvel at the trees, you need to stay focused.
You look around but you don't seem to find it, so you decide to walk a bit deeper into the forest, that is, despite the hot summer morning, really really dark.

Then, in the corner of your eye you see it sparkling, it's the green grass that shines oh so bright, with the glittery beautiful morning dew shining bright on it, as if it was calling out your name.
You have found it, your lovely destination that you have searched for, for so long.
You run there, happy that the sun hasn't risen yet.

You lay down in the grass and immediately smell the wonderful scent of the forest, next to you are some dark brown mushrooms, and some beautiful flowers, like violets, mayflowers, trout lilies, wild ginger and much more.
It's a huge variety of different colors and shades, but also forms and smells, of the flowers, mushrooms and of course the animals.
You're really carefull not to lay on them, then you slowly close your eyes and listen to the water, which composedly flows through the skinny and really small river just a couple feet away from where you're laying right now.

You notice light, the sun stars to rise now, existed but still calmly you stand up, you don't want to disturb or wake up anyone in the forest.
As you feel like you safely stand with both feet on the ground, you turn your head and look up, there are not any trees around this little destination here, so you can perfectly see the suns early light shining, on your lips curls an excited, but still relaxed, soft smile.

You look into the sun and then look around, "It's happening.." you whisper to yourself.

You see the sun rise proudly over your head, you see the flowers showing off their colourful petals, you see the green moos around the thick oak trees shimmer in the sunlight, you see the deep-brown mushrooms stand still besides them, you see the green grass glance in the corner of your eyes, you see some wild rabbits hopping around and even some small deers carefully exploring the forest ground, you hear the birds start chirping their songs and you swear that you maybe even saw a small, beautiful lightball, like a fairy, fly around here.
You close your eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, but you're forced to open them quickly after that again, since you're too excited to see everything beautiful happen there.

You feel as if the time stops, just for you, so that you could only focus on what's happening in this beautiful forest, that looks just like a perfect piece of art to you.
You blend everything else out, everything besides this forest and what happens here.
You relax your muscles and close your eyes.
And in that moment, that beautiful, perfect moment, you realise, that everything, this universe, this world, this country, this forest and even the small, shiny morning dawn drop on the leave of a thin birch tree, is truly
