This is Part 38 of an on-going serial I’m writing called, “Lyr the Enchanter”. To read the story from the beginning, you can find the story index, here.
I walked and walked, my head empty when I should have been thinking, processing all I had learnt. My mind, however, wouldn’t cooperate. It was overwhelmed.
I paid no attention to where I was or where I was going. I didn’t care. I simply went wherever the breeze decided to take me.
The next thing I knew, I was here. And then I was laughing. I was standing in the middle of a field of larulia, the dream-weaver’s flower. I should have been worried. Larulia was potent in tiny doses and here I was standing in an acre of it. As I inhaled its heady scent, I could feel the magic taking effect.
And so I decided to lie down and rest amongst the pretty flowers. My eyes were quick to close; I felt a smile spread across my face and then I began to drift away, to dream and dream some more…

That is so beautiful and enchanting, and peaceful, and I’m wondering what’s going to happen to disturb that peace!

Thank you, Crispina! I really enjoyed writing this part…There was something very dreamlike, mesmerising, about that photo…how the reed heads seemed to be dancing softly in the breeze 🙂

I was doubtful of using the photo as a prompt, unsure any would find inspiration in a row of reed-heads. Just cos I love reeds, fascinated by the changes wrought by the seaons. I wasn’t sure how others would respond. Yet it proved popular.
