Beauty Around Me

Perched on the bench outside in front of my school, there is beauty to be found all around me. The light breeze wisps my hair gently around my face as I gaze ahead at the glorious sight of endless blue sky and bright green grass. Big clusters of white clouds dangling above me provide a security blanket, in a sense. Visions of fall peek through the shades of green leaves fading into yellow on the giant trees surrounding the campus. Brightly colored flowers welcome the students, blossoming alongside the long path leading toward the front doors. The sunlight shines in between the branches of the tree hanging above me and I breathe in the aroma of fresh plants and mountain air. Perfection. Nowhere else I'd rather be, even despite the fact that this gorgeous setting is where my school resides. I'd much rather be out here than inside my classroom listening to lecture, confined from the wonders to be discovered outside the windows. Tennis courts; my favorite sight yet. Thoughts of grasping my racket inside the tight grip of my hand fill my mind, reminding me of my biggest passion. I dread the arrival of winter, yet beauty is found everywhere and the snow-covered sight will just be a different form of magical wonder.
