The Awakening

Dimmed lights. A flickering candle. A scent and a breeze. A step forward. Lightly. Closed eyes. A tickling. A teasing. A white soft feather barely touching its tip to skin so soft. A sudden slight shiver. A step back.
Eyes opening. Daring. Discovering. Curious. Hopeful? Not so much. The utter impossibility of minimum expectaions thrives on the challenge. The inadequacy of responding gives way to the adventure of exploring mysterious boundaries. A temptation that is hard to resist.
A smile that keeps reappearing imposing its presence.
Rays of light tenderly making their way through curving valleys and sloping hills. The breeze giving way to a startling wind. Serenity knocks its door on closed ears.
The awakening is yet to come. Uninvited.
