Away.

Where there lies nothing but peace

And radiating calmness.

Waves of glimmering positivity

Continuously wash over you,

As do the perfectly-crafted snowflakes from above.

The pulchritudinous trees,

Now coated in thick layers of bright white snow.

Despite your constant shivering,

The cold remains ever so comforting,

Like an ice blanket

Somehow keeping you warm inside.

A surge of freezing wind bites at the nape of your neck playfully,

Urging you toward the overwhelmingly large frost-covered forest,

The benevolent home you have come to cherish endlessly.

Its ravishing branches sway with the bitter breeze,

A rhythm like nothing you had seen before

Pulsating through the flawless frigid foliage.

The earth beneath the gargantuan city of towering trees is

But a vast carpet of rich, green plants in diverse shapes and sizes.

Indeed the ideal place to be,

It is none other than-

Away.

Where the flower gardens are smothered

In a meek mass of golden bees,

The birds' chirping almost drowned out

By their harmonious buzzing.

As you trail back toward the tremendous bundle of trees

You spot multitudinous bee hives

Clinging to the broad branches,

The scent so alluring, irresistible.

After peacefully collecting some honey,

You slide down the sloped tree

Only to meet an array of blossoming wildflowers,

Their height reaching just above your knees.

They brush up against your legs graciously,

A warm,

Loving gesture.

And so you lift a finger to your lips,

Daring a taste of the heavenly substance.

Immediately, a wave of warmth washes over you

And goosebumps spread

Along your arms

As nature's syrup dances all over your tastebuds,

The taste powerfully sweet,

Forcefully killing off any form of negativity,

Welcoming all forms of absolute happiness.

The stupendously sweet substance travels down your throat,

So soothing,

So sincere.

It shoots fuzzy feelings through your body

And leaves you wondering if you're experiencing an allergic reaction.

But allergic reactions cannot possibly feel so satisfactory,

So warm,

So rewarding.

Or maybe this is simply how allergic reactions feel in-
