The lagoon

Clear water dances around the stones and rocks within the stream, jumping and swaying endlessly. Willows hang over, creating a tunnel of green down its path, almost completely shielding it from sunlight. The slithers that do seep through, however, shine beams of light onto the crystal waters, creating beautiful spectacles for the eye. Pebbles line the waters edge, just before the grass begins, rounded and steady - keeping its banks intact. You could walk across it, at various points, stepping carefully on each smoothened rock; but one inch out of step, and the treacherous veins will drag you further down the rapids.
The masses of water then fall to the pool, right at the bottom of a colossal drop. Here you will find small waves crashing upon the sandy banks, surrounded by sakura in perfect blossom. This lagoon was shallow yet deep, with crystal clear water filling it's pool, drifting petals floating on the surface. The water was so clear that you could see the shadows of the pink petals on the bottom of the lagoon, almost as if they were floating above the exotic fish. These multi-coloured fish would swim in and out of each other, weaving paths through the plants settled calmly on the bed, their feather-like fins flowing gracefully as they glide. As you sit on the sand, feet dipped in the water, you can just abut here the faint rustling of the waterfall approximately 30 feet in front of you, behind which is a secret cavern where the spectacular lizards thrive.
These lizards are only found in close proximity of this particular lagoon. They live quite lives, no enemies or threats, just them. They eat the smaller fish of the pool along with small pants that line the rocks below. Slithering between the other wildlife, they flourish with the ever-growing flowers. Forever they have lived here, forever unharmed, but then comes man -  who turns this utopia into a dead plain.
The forests surrounding this small destination would confuse you to the point of insanity, so they planned ahead. Man destroys all the trees, removing these creatures from their natural habitat. They observe the small amount still living there before taking them into captivity. This changes them drastically. without the cold mountain ranges surrounding the sakura forest which isolates the lagoon, they go mad. This is what man does. This is why we need to listen to naturists and biologists. This is why we need to just stop.

Okay, right, sorry. I tried; but failed. Sadly, I forgot to post yesterday. Therefore, I am posting TWICE today!! Even if it is past ten o'clock... heh heh...
Anyways... Farewell my little snowflakes!!
