The Difference – #FlashFiction for #Meditation

 

In the village nestled around the shimmering lake of Cyboon, a stark contrast painted the divide between royalty and commoners. The palace, in it’s regal splendor, blazed with light that pierced the dark night sky, casting intricate shadows upon the waters below. Within its walls, opulence reignedโ€”a symphony of silk and jewels, where every whim was attended to with reverence.
ย 
Meanwhile, in the humble dwellings encircling the lake, darkness prevailed. Candles flickered faintly in some windows, their glow feeble against the velvet backdrop of the night. Families gathered around hearths, sharing simple meals and tales passed down through generations. Their faces, weathered by toil and laughter, bore the quiet dignity of those bound to the earth.
ย 
Yet amidst the differences, a thread of shared humanity connected them allโ€”the aspirations for safety, love, and prosperity. The palace shimmered like a distant star, its allure a promise of a life beyond the reach of many. Yet, beneath the opulent faรงade, both royalty and commoners knew the weight of responsibility and the fleeting nature of power. In the silent embrace of the night, the lake whispered stories of unity and resilience, echoing across the divide.
