Chapter One.
Saturday, May 11, 2002 - 10:15 PM
She waits in the dark... listening for his approach. In the darkness she hears the sounds of the night, the animals as they make ready for their rest and the night roamers as they make ready for their night's work. She paces back and forth. She yearns for his touch and with each tick of her watch she fears that he will not come.
Will he leave her there in the dark alone?
The tears threaten to spill from her eyes as she thinks of her lover. The wind picks up her skirt and blows it tightly against her body.
He sees her there......... her body outlined in the moonlight. Quietly he makes his way to her. He feels her tension in the air... he knows her fears. He smiles slightly as he plans the night's pleasures. What joy they will feel.
WHAT JOYS HE WILL GIVE HER.
She turns toward him sharply as he steps on a twig. She covers her mouth to smother the scream that formed there. Her fears ease and her body sways with relief. She sees her love. She rushes to him, his arms open to capture her. Around and around he swings her as she giggles with delight.
After a while, they embrace and their lips come together in a passionate kiss. He then takes her hand in his and slowly begins to lead her to the place he has prepared as their love nest.

Chapter Two.
Tuesday, May 14, 2002 - 11:19 PM
Arm in arm they walk down a dark and shadowy path lit only by the moonlight that peeks through the foliage up above. They walk along this path, he with his arm around her shoulders and her with her arm wrapped around his waist, her head pressed up against his chest, a smile on her face and feeling safe within his warm embrace. As they walk along this path that seemed to lead them deep in to the woods, they can hear the sounds of Mother Nature at work and those of the night creatures preparing for their evenings. They can hear the sounds of animals moving in the treetops, the movements of little critters underneath the shrubs, and the rustling of the grass and that of leaves as a slight breeze pushes them along.
She is suddenly startled by a noise above their heads and she tenses and presses herself even closer within his embrace and wraps her arm even tighter around his waist. He is not concerned about the noise for he knows each and every sound that is made here in the place that he calls home. But he does sense her tension and places his hand underneath her chin and raises her head so that he can see her face and look into her eyes.
He says to her "Do not be frighten or concerned my love, you are safe here with me and that sound that we just heard was that of the gracious bat patrolling the path that we now walk together on."
She looks into his eyes and says, "Okay my love for I do feel safe whenever I am in your arms."
He then leans over and places a tender kiss upon her lips and she responds in kind. She relaxes the grip upon his waist and again nestles her head on his chest only to raise it again and place a kiss upon his cheek and in a sweet loving voice asks him, "Where is it that we are going my love?"
He looks down at her, smiles, and replies, "I am taking you to a very special place my love, a magical place deep within these woods, a place where no man or woman has ever gone. You, my love, will be the only human that will have been there and the only one that will know of its magic."
She smiles at him and says, "Awwww, I love you baby"
"I love you too, very much, my sweet southern belle" he replies.
They tenderly kiss once more, she again nestles her head upon his chest and they continue their journey to this magical place that he has told her they are going to.
As they walk along she wonders, can this really be? What is this that I hear? I am not sure but I do believe that I can hear the sounds of violins, accordions and the sweet heavenly sounds of harps coming from the distance. But if this is so, how can it be true? For my love has told me that no man or woman has ever been here. She raises her head from his chest and looks into his eyes and asks "My love, is this sweet lovely music that I hear?"
He looks down at her, smiles and replies: "Yes, my love you are correct. But this music that you hear is not music created by man. This, my love, is music created by the love between lovers. It is the music created by the love we two share. It is the music of our hearts my sweet southern belle and we shall hear it all the while that we are within this magical place."
She smiles at him and then asks, "Does this mean that we are almost there my love?"
"Yes my dear, you are correct again. We do not have too much further to go." he replies as he places a kiss on her cheek.
As she rests her head once more upon his chest she can hear the beating of his heart, the sweet music of love fills her head and feelings of joy and contentment course through her entire being.
Closer and closer they get to their destination and the music that their love has created now surrounds them and it alters its rhythm with each and every emotion that passes between them. The excitement that they now share has caused it to pick up its pace and rhythm and it adds to the anticipation that they feel within them.
As they approach this wondrous place, she looks up in astonishment for in front of her she can see what looks like a soft but heavenly mist that extends both left and right as far as her eyes can see. In the center of this mist there is what resembles a doorway of gold and silver with an arch at the top. In truth, what she sees is indeed a doorway of gold and silver that shimmers with ever movement of the moonlight as it shines through the treetops as they slowly sway in the evening breeze.
