Amidst the soft footfall and hushed whispers, she awoke from a short yet deep slumber. Re-orienting her mind and self to the reclining United seat, she reached out to the glass of water to cure the suddenly rising thirst. Whilst fumbling with the window-flap, she felt the water soak her right knee as her hand involuntarily succumbed to tilting the cup. But only her body reacted, her mind was living its own life, it own dream as her eyes soaked up the translucent sunlight and over-estimated yet beautiful Californian view.
The summer was coming to a close end. It had begun with a promising pack of punches, surprises and a boatload of life experiences. Her heart raced as thoughts of a brand new beginning made their way into her raw thought-pool. She let herself smile at the musing of a prolific Fall and dreamed of orange leaves slowly turning red and eventually white with snow. She knew she had changed and she was aware of the reasons that caused this change. She wasn't the same person - mind or body - and she was ready to kick-back her worries & self-securities and dive into a new season of love, laughter and books. Yes, she affirmed to herself, it was time to rise & shine.
Shuffling around her seat to stretch her calves her mind wandered to a distant past memory. It brought immediate peace to her mind and her body responded by settling down to another shot of deep slumber.
It was one of the camping sites at the Rockies in Colorado. Her nonchalant smile broke into a grin as visions re-surfaced with clarity. The rush. The crazy blood-rush when she saw the sky full of stars, hand-in-hand with the piece of her heart still jolted her mind into frenzy. It was phenomenal - like a sparkle-dust laden rich blue carpet with no seams, no restrictions. It had a life of its own, and grew more illustrious by the minute, like an arrogant celebrity. She reminisced feeling the hard ground through the thin sleeping-bag as they basked in the soft and ambient moonlight. Soul over soul with minds intertwined, the chemistry was apparent. A sudden gush of wind had had her hair flopping all over her face. She had giggled, as he looked at her and quickly moved them back into place, whilst gently caressing her temple. She felt the heat rise to her face as she blushed a deep pink. The crackling fire, sparkling diamonds in the sky and the slight touch of his hand suddenly felt immensely romantic. She was drawn to him, just sucked all-in at once. Her eyes glazed with happiness and pride as she felt her heart race. The moment was perfect as they both collapsed into a deep embrace, heart over heart. She drifted away, detached from reality yet in-sync with the present, her mind wandering deeper into the beautiful memory.
The screeching voice of the pilot rattled her eyes open. He was announcing turbulent weather in the horizon. She played with the stone on her finger, the stone of promise & togetherness. Staring into the clouds she decided to replay that memory, the one that filled her heart with warmth & her mind with security..., she wanted to go back .... and lay on her soft pillow.
