‘The breeze dances across the field of flowers and a petal glides to the ground. The sun is mellow in the horizon, setting the bluebells alight with a lustrous glow and the dew of the rain gone past glitters in the shine of a faint rainbow. His feet are bare, letting the grass tickle his soles and he smooths his thumb over the velvet surface of a blooming sunflower. Somewhere in the distant trees a flock of birds are twittering and then, all at once, they rise in a wave and fly away across the sky, and all is quiet again.’
