Summer Night

Summer Night

A Story by Barbara R Deraoui

Imagine walking into a forest full of pine and other trees

They are all colors and sizes


As you stop amongst the trees, all you can hear is the deep silence

and the sound of your boots as you walk along on the dirt path


A slight cool breeze rustles through the trees moving the limbs

as the branches sway back and forth to the rhythm of the breeze


It is pleasant and calming 

There is a scent of freshness in the air

It is invigorating 


The sky is clear, and there is a glimmer of the sun gently hitting the path ahead

As you look up through the trees, the sun seems to shimmer


You keep walking

At the end of the path, is a small log cabin with 

a fire burning in the fireplace, waiting quietly for its owner to return

You can smell something baking in the oven
