Wind companion
Wind, here she came.
I stepped on the pebbles washed by rain to meet her.
Ah! I forgot to bring a present for a moment! I had to bend down quickly to find a smooth and delicate pebble and gave it to Wind.
However, she waved softly: “Thank you. As long as you accompany me, it is good.” So I took her hand and rushed to the grass ground dotted with flowers.
We smiled and looked at each other’s faces affectionately, and couldn’t help whirling and dancing together. The drifting tail of her skirt swang the green grass, and her melodious laughter alarmed the sleeping insects. Whirling, everything is whirling. Birds circled with the white clouds in the blue sky. Trees circled by the mountains beside the clear river. Laughter circled around the fragrance of flowers mixed with earthy flavor. We dance with nature in the rhythm of the universe.
With the fresh fragrance of flowers, we left the grass, crossed the river and came into the quiet depths of the woods. The soft sunshine was scattered through the dense branches and leaves on the moss-covered big stones. Just in the narrow crack of stones, there was a gorgeously blooming flower, motionless, but giving out charming brilliance. I just wanted to pick it up and give it to Wind.
However, Wind shook her head: “Don’t hurt it,as long as you accompany me.” So she took my hand, stepped over the slowly flowing clear spring water, climbed over the continuous hills, and rushed to the side of a wide lake.
Lake, did you fall asleep in the swaddling cloth of the land? On the lake surface like a flat mirror, only a few lonely aquatic plants were floating. Wind looked at a nearby willow under which moored an abandoned boat: “let’s take a boat tour of the lake!”
Sitting on a lone boat covered with dry leaves,we were rowing wooden oars .The lake was regularly flooded with water waves ,which were stretching out in circles to the distance. The fish woke up, leapt out of the water and stirred up waves to welcomed us. Countless fish swirled around the boat and kept jumping out. Ah! A small fish landed on the boat! She took the fish in both hands and threw it back into the lake. The thrown fish swung its body. The sun shone on the smooth scales, reflecting golden light and passing through a graceful arc. Then it “plopped” into the arms of the water.
It’s moving, everything is moving. We looked into each other’s eyes and sang loudly. A bird stopped at the head of the boat to accompany us. Her beautiful singing fascinated and rustled the trees by the lake. Let the originally quiet lake intoxicate, shake the body; Let the blue sky and white clouds admire, follow the water traces that our boat paddled across. Her singing touches the heartstrings of life, resonates with the natural universe and merges into a whole.
Ah, I didn’t know when the sunset dyed the lake yellow and red. I got out of the boat with Wind, stepped back to the ground, came to the surrounding empty mountains, side by side, and watched the sun until the last ray of red light disappeared and the dark blue night fell.
What a clear and deep night sky!There was no moon, but there were stars. We lay in the grass bed, looking at the mysterious universe together and resonating with the happiness in our hearts.
The flowing Milky Way brought everything to sweet sleep. Her soft long hair draped over me and she slowly closed her tired eyelids, but still with a moving and quiet smile.
When I was awakened by the drizzle, I found that Wind had already disappeared. Is this rain her tears for our parting? Please don’t be sad, I will see you again,Wind.
I tasted the flavor of drizzle carefully, which is bitter in happiness and sweetness, and sadness mixed with joy.
