new kid on the block

Gently a warm wind rushes around the head-bowed woman. It encircles her as lovingly as a hug and as completely as a woolen blanket. Do not lose hope it whispers into her mind, her thoughts, her soul. We are here with you now. Sleep and be refreshed. Lily would find herself inexorably pulled towards sleep. The ground beneath her would rise and lose its snowy texture, instead offering a bed of moss as fine and comforting as any feathered bed the entertainer might once have slept in. Sleep will envelope her, and her dreams will be of a faraway place of laughter and lights, music and dancing. She will awake feeling restored and energized, ready to take this place at face value and triumph over it.
