Long

Slim fingers

Tanned and dotted with golden freckles

Like drops of honey

From years of dancing in the sun

Beckon you forth

A small

Coy smile

Plays across her angular visage

Unsure

You hesitantly creep towards this unknown entity

Tall and willowy

Much like the tree she now leans against

She looks to be one with the willow

Dismissing the thought as irrelevant

You take her hand

Willingly

Blindly

Walking into the forest

Side by side

Never to be seen again.
