She…

Keith's Ramblings

.

‘

It happens sometimes. Not often. When it does, the moon beckons me through a gap in the curtains. I leave the warmth of my bed, descend the stairs and stroll down the silent, dimly lit street.

I venture onto the beach. Pebbles crackle beneath my naked feet, but I feel nothing. I dip my toes in the sparkling water and gaze towards the horizon. 

I wait. 

One, two… on the count of three, she appears at my side. 

She takes my hand and leads me to our special place. Back to back we sit. Not a word passes our lips. No need. Minutes go by, hours sometimes, then I glance over my shoulder and she’s gone. I know not her name, neither she mine, I suppose.

I stroll home, pull tightly closed my curtains and slumber ’til dawn. Contented, satisfied.

    This is lovely, Keith. A special something that no one else knows about and which means so much to the two participants.

    I love this magical rendezvous. It leaves lots of wonderful questions. Like who is she? is she real or imagined, ghost or alive? Great writing, Keith.
