Wind whistled through the trees causing the leaves to rustle
and fill my ears with the soft crackle harmonised with various bird songs. I
hummed along absent mindedly as I progressed bare foot along the soft dirt path,
the soles of my feet hardened so that small debris did not cause any discomfort
just a mild pleasant tingle. A soft thudding moved from the back of my mind to
the front as the sun flew high in the sky breaking through the scarce gaps in
the overhanging canopy; sending beams of warm light glimmering down, twinkling
in the minute dust particles that danced in the glow. The thudding getting
louder as crossroads fast approaches, my heart joins the rhythm amplifying the
sound. One step then another until we meet, the gap in the trees illuminated our
faces as my rich hazel eyes meet his deep blue. Petrified in place both
entities melded into the scenery, just two trees, shadowed by giants, next to
each other taken aback by each others beauty. A hand reaches out and wipes the
long dark hair out of my face and one word, one whisper; one note escapes his
lips… “Hi”
