Unpaved Road

Winter has blemished my skin leaving deep wounds inside there is still no sign of spring but joy was overflowing within. I took an afternoon stroll along a quite path searching desperately for a new start the sun was shining, hope was riding but it didn't feel like spring. I looked closely at the trees but the buds had not yet appeared dried branches hang sadly in despair murmuring that winter is still in the air. Brown saggy grass lie wretchedly in the soaked ground while naked trees stare with a miserable frown the winter birds were not flying restlessly around they must have migrated to another town. I kept walking, hoping to breath fresh air but the atmosphere was saturated with an awful smell there wasn't anything to up lift my parched spirit so I knelt behind a dry tree stump and whisper a tearful prayer to the omnipotent one. When I got up I felt energy and peace flowing inside so I went on an afternoon adventure on the other side. I kept walking as if I was searching for something It’s as if something was happening somewhere I ended up on an unpaved road that leads to another community in the bushes next to the rich town. Nothing exciting was flowing through the air except the awful stench of burnt chicken feather mingled with burnt fire wood pelting smoke in the air. I followed the smell and entered through a farm gate hoping to find fresh fruits and vegetables but instead I pounced upon hens, ducks and goose in a make shift coop and a big iron pot sitting upon a blazing fire, men and women were slaughtering the chicken orders. I wasn't sure if I was in America I didn't take a plane, I just walked through a gate and here I was in a total different place. The people looked strange they couldn't speak my Language so I hurried away from that terrifying place. I continued walking along the unpaved road moving up and down the winding path with dried bushes and shrubs separated the track and on every corner there was a sign posted on trees private property, beware of bad dogs and no trespassing. There were many cluttered trails and there was no way to get beyond the woody gates bushes, stagnant water and dumped rubbish paved the ground next to a rich neighborhood in town. I felt perplexed and sad but kept walking along suddenly the sun appeared from behind the bushes with its beaming light flashing all around the intensity was so strong I could hardly look at it with my naked eyes. And so the sunlit sky hanged courageously over the unpaved road next to a neighborhood in the rich town.
