As I step onto the deck slowly I feel the breeze lifting my Turkish robe and leaving my body exposed

It is cold for July

adjusting to the darkness now

under an unseen new moon I dream

In the clear of the forest

up in the clear mountain sky so dark

meteors zip by and magic comes from the sight

Entranced I prepare a lounge for full recline so I can take in the beauty of this night.

Warmer blankets and soft sweaters too

I open my star app and gaze a few minutes

First time I noticed the celestial music

I open my iPods and tune into this as I dream in to the crisp air

the cool air brushes against me and tickles my breasts

I am alive

I’m here now

I am a passionate woman

I enjoy flirting with winks

Hugs and quick wit

Nothing more than fun

I see the changing lights on the hummingbird feeder

Feeling at once entranced but resentful at the intrusion of my sacred darkness

My protector Gemma keeps her head on a swivel looking for threats…..and should she perceive on she becomes a fierce guardian ready to fight a bear

Or a man…

Especially a man

A man in a pickup sends her quickly into a frenzy

me too

and likely for good reason…

that’s a story for another moon

now

in the glow of darkness

I sparkle with the stars and dream of so much more
