Calm leaves rustle through the tranquil winds, which make the black tire smooth swing swish gently, to and fro, with an unseen character of imagination. The tall white church reaches up to the heavens, shining brightly- it’s a huge round of blazing light and heat- like a star that shines bright when it reflects the sun’s golden shimmering rays of natural light. The sky of this heavenly mysterious place is a bright blue black one, from which the blazing ,smiling sun emerges through the great thick blanket of darkness of fluffy stormy clouds, which looks like a sudden burst of fire, in the middle of the night. 
The brown wooden picket fence, is well polished, the nails holding the planks in place to form the fence are a part of the fence itself, which creaks quietly- almost soundlessly through the whizzing wind, making music as it journeys on the bluish aqua river which ends at a graceful translucent tinkling waterfall. The house in the distance sends a delicious aroma, which is carried by the wind, which welcomes and beckons people to wander towards the little cottage, in the distance, which looks like a pearl in a vast ocean.
The leaves on the ground suddenly crunch when walking, making people jump in surprise. Soon, the sun could be visible disappearing into the distance, taking its golden bright rays with it and which is replaced with moonlight shining through the night, making it stand out from the rest of the expansive dark sky, which are like dozens of shadows combined together.
