Moonlight Grove

Through the thicket of woods and beyond a rocky path that vanished long ago, there is a small clearing along the shore, a patio facing the sea. The clearing is decked with perennial flowers of every color. On one side, a forget-me-not enjoys the moonlight, not cringing from any human touch, while a beady wisteria trails through a sturdy oleander branch and forms an archway overhead. A beaming jasmine vine nuzzles the wisteria cozily as its flowers sway gently in the sea breeze and immerse the grove with a sweet intoxicating scent. Inside, the ground is carpeted with a cascade of flower petals from above. In the middle of the ground, anointed with splashes of seawater and the spray of morning mist, two boulders sit beside each other like a pair of lovers, gazing at the moonlight shimmering and sparkling on the water below.
