A Thousand Rainy Days

Talyssa took a deep breath, feeling the heaviness of the air fill her lungs. She closed her eyes and let the sound of the rushing water soothe her mind, blocking out all other thoughts and worries. It was as if time had slowed down in this secluded spot, surrounded by nothing but nature. Opening her eyes, she took in the scenery once more. The greenery around her was abundant and vibrant, a stark contrast to the grey cliffs that loomed above. A few small- late season wildflowers dotted the rocky ground, adding small bursts of color to the otherwise monochromatic landscape.

But it was the waterfall that captured Talyssa's attention. It seemed to be the only source of life in this desolate place, its constant flow providing a calming soundtrack to the stillness of the surroundings. As it cascaded down into a small lake below, forming a natural stone basin, she couldn't help but feel drawn to it. Without hesitation, Talyssa made her way towards the edge of the pool. The sun shone through breaks in silver clouds above, casting long shadows across the landscape. The dance of light on rock and water created a mesmerizing effect that Talyssa found herself lost in. For a moment, she forgot about everything else. It was just herself, and the spray of water crashing into rock.
