You know when you fall asleep and
start a dream but have no idea how you got in your dream or if it is real? That
is how she felt when she woke up under the shade of a tree. The light filtering
down between the leaves of the tree was warm and the grass felt soft. She
rolled to her side and curled up and tried to fall back to sleep, to warm happy
dream she knew she must have been having. A gentle breeze blew carrying the
scent of honey and something else that was sweet and tangy. Her stomach
grumbled at the smells compelling her to sit up so she could see where they
were coming from. She was in a meadow with thigh high grass that was lush, soft
and so very green, there was trees dotted through-out heading up a slight hill
towards a forest. The trees were large with long arms for branches that when
standing under seem to reach up and support the sky with their leafy hands. The
breeze blew again carrying the sent of honey with it stronger now. Her stomach
growled loudly now. She had to know what those wonderful smells were, so she
started off in the direction she thought they were coming from. As she walked
she let her finger tips run along the tips of the grass enjoying the soft feel
and the grassy scent that it created. The light was warmer out side of the
shade of her tree and the breeze that continued to blow felt even better out
there. As she got closer and closer to the forest the smells of honey and that
other tangy sweet scent got stronger and stronger making her stomach growl more
often. She came to the edge of the forest and stopped before walking, she
didn’t know this forest and wasn’t sure about going in. It was darker in there
with those lovely trees closer together blocking more light; the grass was much
shorter in the forest growing only as high as her ankles now. That gentle
breeze blew with those delicious smells drawing her in the forest compelling
her to enter till she could no longer resist and stepped inside.
