If the Clouds Cry
Rain whispers down quietly, a symphony of sorrow led by the sky. The world whispers in response, soaked in the melancholic melody. A sheet of gray shrouds the landscape, casting long shadows that stretch. The air thickens, carrying with it the fragrance of damp earth. A lone bird trembles in the breeze, a poignant reminder of nature's vulnerability.

Bathed in Calm
The gentle rhythm of the mist upon the leaves creates a haze. A wave of serenity washes over you, melting the worries of the day. Time seems to stand still, and you are lost away in a world of pure bliss.
