Midsummer Night's Eve Stroll

An evening stroll, on Midsummer Night's Eve , under the silver light of the horizon moon. Life that burst among a small acreage, of old-growth forests, flourished. A delightful flurry of fireflies, drifting, twinkle among the foliage, an amazing sight. Echoing sounds moan through bough and leaves disturbed the night grew cold and grim. A sudden quiet came, not a whisper, of leaf or waving bough, not a breath of wind. The forest was swathed in gloomy shadow. As I come upon an old museum adorned with monolith standing stones. Dim shadows obscured the eerie dark opening, which formed a prelude to rivalries between evil and light. Curiosity reeled me in, as my freighted body trembles. What horrors wait inside? Annoying pride! Please! Don't patronize me.", I told myself. And awful, clenching nauseous feeling came over me, with every step into the dark gruesome cavernous hall. I didn't' want to walk any farther. The moonlight sunk in casting shadows onto the walls. Hideous, vicious grins sneered from carvings against the walls. A sanctuary once filled with strange world treasures, gold and jade idols, scepters, swords and masks embellished in jewels. Finding, on a marble pedestal sat a crystal oval jar , with a picturesque opaque lid with a two inch statue of the goddess Athena, in a long flowing gown, she held a spear on her right, and a golden shield on the left . An alcove on the far end of the wall sat a fiery red hair maiden, wearing a flowing emerald green gown plucking the strings on a harp. The musical sounds capturing the attention of whimsical creatures, as a shimmering white Unicorn sat by her side. Aromatic fragrance drifted within the room with scent of blossoms and the cool sea filled the air. I found it beautiful, warm, and embracing. Not vindictive, but a smitten angel from heaven subduing nature. An exciting victorious and fortunate feeling flowed through my body, as I stared at her angelic sight. 7/17/2016 Athena is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, mathematics, strength, war strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill in ancient Greek religion and mythology.
