A gentle breeze blows across your face. Carrying
with it the scent of the tropical flowers blooming all about you and the
tang of salt from the ocean. Hidden in the distance by the tall trees near
your head you imagine you can still hear it. Still feel the rhythm of it
as it crashes against the shore. You open your eyes as the light breeze
blows the leaves above you head out of the way and a stream of light touches
down upon your face.
The sound of the water as it crashes into the pool
several yards beyond you feet reminds you where you are. With one arm you
push yourself up onto one elbow and survey the area you had chosen to take
a nap.
The grass you lie on is short and soft. Cool against your skin in the
shade of the tress with great broad leaves hanging high above your head.
Brightly colored flowers sprout up all about you. Their scent alone brings
dreams floating into your head. Several yards beyond your feet a great
tower of water pours down from a gap in a cliff face hundreds of feet above.
Crashing into smaller out thrusts of rock as it makes it way into the crystal
blue lake that spreads out from the great white foam as the water from
above crashes down.
Lying back down daydreams wash over you again as
that person dearest to your heart enters your mind. Wishing they were there
with you. You can almost see them smiling at you from the beautiful pool.
Swimming in the crystal waters. The person of your dreams made real for
a short time as the intoxicating scent of the flowers. Carried by the cool
breeze and mingling with the effects of the warm tropical sun takes over
your mind. Reality and fantasy blend perfectly for that brief moment and
then once again the scent of salt enters your nose and you snap out of
your dream.
With a sigh you settle back down. You feel every
one of your muscles begin to relax as you slowly begin to drift off to
sleep again. The warm sunlight is blocked again by the trees. Once again
covered in the comfortable shade. Hidden partially from the light you loose
all sense of yourself again. Fantastic dreams lift you up among the clouds
and all else is forgotten.
