Green Silk Part III

Sherry grew up on the island of Bermuda. Her love of the ocean water kept her there; she knew life in America or in a big city was not for her. She needed the salty water to feel alive, the sun to warm her skin, and the fierce storms to calm her restlessness. Yet, she was lonely. Sherry would go down to the beach early in the morning, walking along the pink sands, until she found her special place amongst the coral rocks. Here is where she began to sing in her soft, hypnotizing tone,

Her brown hair, long like smooth ocean waves, her skin the color of sand, and then she turned her gaze upon him. Deep, dark green eyes warmed his body more than the desert sun. He slowly walked towards her.

“I’ve heard you singing every morning. No one else could hear you. Everyone thought I was crazy.”

She smiled, extending her hand to him, “The song was for only you to hear. I’m glad you finally came. I’ve been so lonely.”

As he took her hand he never took his gaze away from her eyes, he never saw…
