Amongst the relentless and countless. A small sense of all calm washes over me when I hear a faint voice about the forest trees. Mindlessly my feet travel forward closer to the voice that feels my ears. 

‘ Is it her ? ’  

My steps become quicker  and I stumble in my rush to the voice. I finally clear over the largest tree that blocks my vision. My eyes fall upon the rock in the almost bare clearing. My entire frame becomes weak as my eyes betray me.  

I can feel my heartbeat in my throat gawk.This voice hold me cradling my heart. A I feel my troubles leave me as I stare. In the depths of my eyes the longing shows.

I swear she sees me. But the dryad pausing her singing and finally speaks the image fades and it is replaced with but a different dryad. The truth revealed and a sadness washes over me. Though it doesn’t last long when she speaks of a message of her ‘her’.
