Synopsis

The moss felt cool and soothing beneath her bare legs. This was one of her favorite spots here in this dream, encircled by green velvet grass and soft pink clover. The night sky vibrated with the stars song to her. Like tiny silver bells, they tinkled in her ears whispering tales of places long dead or hidden only here. This place that had always been. She felt the Presence again. Somewhere in the woods, or across the stream, someone sat watching her. Always here, ever present. There was never any fear. Only peace and beauty. Did others come here besides her and him? She had never seen anyone else.She stood and walked down into the warm water. Catfish swirled at her feet and kissed her legs as they nibbled her. Their long whiskers tickled her skin sending little electric shocks along the flesh that followed up her spine to the top of her head. She sat down on the flat rock at the bank and dipped her hands into the black water. T he moon sparkled across the rippling surface making long thin silvery threads of light, dancing like ribbon through black skies. She bathed for him. Her hands smoothed the surface of her skin. She glistened beneath the star light, drops of water like diamond chips trailing along her glowing body. The warmth of the water and air softened her. She pushed her face down into the water and opened her eyes. Shimmering rocks glistened, gold glittered. She took in a deep breath of water and exhaled through her nose as the warm water expelled. She loved this dream world. So real. Hers. His, whoever he was.She pulled her head back and stared into the dark forest. Water dripped from her face and trailed over her breasts and stomach. His black shadow stood hovering, majestic. He was white as the moon standing there amongst the black trees, his mouth slightly open, teeth gleaming. She stood up and walked towards him. He waited motionless for her to come into the woods to finally touch her. This was the first time.
