There it stands, arachnid shadows creeping down, its veins flow hidden, causing the grass to breathe. A distant storm closes in, it swallows the horizon, accentuating my trivialty . I rest in solitude. I make my way up the hill. I can see the wind through the things that it moves, its power still dormant, demanding my respect. As i get closer i can sense a force above me, A blue marble spins and glistens in orange light, i try desperately not to fall off. Its almost too much to bare as i stretch out my hands. In that instant i realise my eyes have been closed. I hesitate to open them, The vast atmosphere is now an ambience moaning low. A deep chant reverberates inside. I can feel Herculean walls towering to an ornate roof, and statues of gold staring into me, piercing my skin. Never blinking, never averting their gaze, i have to see. The hairs on my neck stand up and I ****** my eyes wide. A cold breeze drifts in from my garden as rain drips off the tin roof. I get up from my chair wiping my tired eyes. I look out at the old tree from years past, but i see it for the first time.

Veins of the earth

Again this one is based off a recurring dream theme of a lone tree on a hill, and a huge monestary at the edge. Ive tried to reflect the atmosphere accurately.
