A Morning Walk.

Hello,

Today I went for a morning walk.

I woke up early, six O'clock I got out of bed because it has been difficult for me to get up in the morning recently. I pulled out some clothes and a hair brush and tiptoed into the bathroom to dress.
When I was done I grabbed my phone and no money and crept downstairs, I left a note on the kitchen table so no one would worry. I closed the door gently behind me and walked out into the morning.

On one side the sky was pink and the sunlight glowed golden and warm through the clouds but the air had an autumn chill. The crescent moon was shining in the morning light at the top of the pink part of the sky. I looked up at the hill and then down towards the river. I chose to walk down to the river as the grass on the hill would get my feet wet.

I started off down the hill and the morning was beautiful, I walked towards the high street to see the early morning shops that looked warm and welcoming. But I walked on past them watching the coloured carnival bunting that was strung like a spiders web above me between the houses flutter in the wind.

I know the walk to the river well and I got there quickly to find my favourite seat empty as usual. I tiptoed through the grass trying not to get my feet too wet and sat on the dew dampened bench. I watched the river for a while, and the sky. I knew that my phone had no signal and I didn't have long to stay in my makeshift paradise but I enjoyed every second and I felt everything. I felt like all my nerve endings had come alive and every breeze, every sound, every colour was more vibrant and more alive.

I walked to the bridge to see the goose that stands in the river there eating a breakfast of river plants and a moorhen on a branch singing a song. When at last I knew it was time to go I walked slowly, reluctant to leave my small bit of peace, back through the graveyard where the different coloured roses grow, past the pink delicate wildflowers by the path and back to the now busying streets of my home.

When I got back my parents were awake and although I had left a note, they somehow hadn't even realised I was gone.

Bye.
