i dream ...

[phoenix_arose]

of dancing in grove as dusk settles among the trees, my long cinnamon hair flowing behind me, braids down the front with flowers worked through the braids. As the last rays of a dying sun hit the treetops, the fire is lit. We dance - family and friends, we dance - around a tall and bright fire encircled by a low stone ring. The flames from them turn the green shade of my embroidered dress from summer to autumn colors. The drums sound as the night moves on. I am free of the dress and just in an underskirt colored to match the flames of the fire and my hair. The goddess who lives within burns bright as Her glow radiates sensuality and and light from my skin. The moon rises over head and my lover approaches, watching me dance. He joins me for a short time before whispering softly in my ear that it is time to go, NOW. i make a last circle and thank the drummer, then make my way to mine and my lover's home.
