Suddenly waking from a dream it took me a few minutes to realize I was holding on to you. Our bodies so close it seemed that we were one.
I reach up to your beautiful neck where there was a thin ice blue collar. My fingers linger there on your collar for a short time caressing it and your neck so very gently. Filling the collars coolness next to your sleep warmed skin.
A smile starts to slowly creep upon my face while the realization of knowing you are mine now, and remembering the great honorable gift you gave me the night before. I started to whisper to you and let my mind replay the story of how it all began......
It was just before dawn, my favorite time of day just before nature started to wake up and breathed it’s peaceful, cool morning breezes. The Sun was just starting to come up over the horizon. I was awake, as usual and had decided to take a walk in the Queen's garden, so that I could enjoy the treasure of creation waking and preparing for a new day. The garden was stunning as the waking Sun lit the garden in a soft fiery light that glistened on the morning dew.
The cool airs that keep blowing across me brought a sigh from deep with in. I had begun to think of the secret I was forced to carry deep with in myself. Just a choice few, which included my dear Mother, knew of my secret. Whenever I would start to worry about my secret being exposed, I reminded myself, that I had already made a name for myself, that my adventures in the name of
country and honor were legendary though out the kingdom. That the King himself had admitted last night not many had braved the things I had or undertaken the journeys I had.
However, I had to admit to myself it wasn’t just for my country or for honor but partly to prove that I was who I said I was and to cover up my secret.
While wondering the garden’s paths thinking I came across a bench near an old willow tree. I had brought my guitar along with me this morning so, I sat down and settled back with a guitar in hand and lightly strummed. I let words of poetry and song that was wondering around in my mind come forth as I listened and strummed to the birds that had begun to wake up and sing in the trees above.
“I hear music...in my soul,
Music no one else knows,
The music a soulful,
Music of harmony,
A joyous melody.
A balance created,
By you and I.”
My hands began to change the strumming so that it matched the words roaming around inside of me. Suddenly my soul jumped, bringing me to a complete halt. I sat there my fingers remained on the guitar strings yet I remained very still. Somehow, I felt you and knew that you were there,
standing watching from behind in the early morning shadows. I waited for what seemed forever but the feeling of you did not leave nor did you move out of the shadows. I begin to wonder if my mind was playing games with me. I slowly turned around to see if you truly were there or if it was a past life memory that I felt touch my soul.
There in the shadows of early dawn I saw you. Eyes that matched the many stormy oceans I have traveled yet they glistened as the morning dew. Your lips so slight and thin were red as the roses in the garden, were slightly turned up in a small shy smile.
