He was looking forward to going to Verna. It could only be for a limited time but there would be other visits. Even traveling a considerable distance, he thought it well worth the time, there was no sacrifice. Eventually, Verna started to come into view; he slowed his approach and savoured the anticipation, smiling at the butterfly sensation in his stomach. With all the thoughts, feelings and emotions during his advance he neglected to observe one very crucial thing. A mistake was made, a major mistake which he would only realize after it was way to late and irreversible damage done.
He was there. Embraced all of the presence, atmosphere and the very aurora that was imitated.
He explored and soaked in with all senses in heady excitement, craving for even more. His eyes observed and drank in different pictures as he moved his gazed over this magnificent vision. As if treasuring each frame of a favourite moving picture. Moving around and seeing Verna in differing light, shadows and perspectives each image was almost a mirage of exquisite painted but real life artwork. Not only his mind soared with gratification but all senses increased in bliss.
In Verna, he felt an ultimate comfort and opulence, as well as unconditional contentment within this presence. He inhaled all the delicious scents and fragrances, which changed subtly from one little area to another. All an exotic mystery to be discovered and indulged in. In an unobtrusive and innocent way he touched felt and almost caressed all of the surfaces Verna had to offer. Like a small girl gently feeling the delicacy of a flowers pettel or soft cool grass under her feet. Like a young boy walking - trailing his hand along a picket fence and tree trunks as he passes enjoying the smacking of the surfaces.
His mind lets his ears soak in and enjoy the subtle and pleasant ambient sounds, a whimper, a grown, a moan as if a gentle wind through tree branches, through garden fences, crispy fallen leaves blown across quiet roads. They all spoke to him to his delight for him to hear.
