“Can you see her?” my heart asked.
“No, I can’t. But I would love to…”
“Just close your eyes… then, look again.”
I opened my eyes…
“What do you see?”
A vast blue ocean under an endless night sky where little white moon sailed on and off greeted me. And with that, a gentle cool wind blew on my face that brought with it a strange, sweet fragrance of some far unknown land. I looked around. It was a small stretch of a long rocky beach. On the backside, I saw a forest that separated the seaside from the world. And from there I could hear the sweet melody of the wind playing with the leaves of the trees. As I stepped forward, I saw a boat in the mid of the ocean that was out of my sight.
“What place is this? Is this heaven?”
“Is it? You know this place, don’t you? You have dreamt of this place so many times, haven’t you?”
“I don’t understand.”
“Look down.”
“I know this place, I know this place.”
“Yes, you know this place. You have known this all your life, and even before that. Its you who created it in your dreams, the most beautiful place, anywhere.
“Where is she?”
“Look… there… on the rocks…”
There at a distance, I saw someone sitting on a rock right at the edge of the sea. She wore a dazzling black gown that contrasted brilliantly with the richness of her skin. She was sitting there with her arms around her knees. Her dark dense long hair covered her back just like the beautiful night. After a moment, she looked up at the ocean as her looks danced passionately on her innocently pious smiling face. The waves tried to touch her, but they broke down crashing on the rock, just to kiss her beautiful feet before going back. But then, one lucky wavelet managed to fly and splash on her face. The droplets dripped down her forehead, her angelic eyelids and blissfully nose, while others stroked down affectionately her beautiful cheeks, kissed her shivering petalled lips, before tickling her nervous throat and dripping down further, exploring the veiled world of her bosoms and beyond. As she stood there with her arms wide open, the wind and the water rushed on her making every strand of her hair dance in joy and each strand of her gown embrace her like her true love. She stood there in beauty, in freedom, in strength, in chaste and… in love…
“Do you see her now?”
“Yes, I see her. Who is she?”
“You tell me.”
“But I dont know her!”
“Oh yes you do. You always have.”
“But…”
“Tell me what do you feel?”
“I feel… I feel like seeing an angel of heaven exuding her charm over my world.”
“And what do you want?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“I am confused.”
“What do you mean?”
