*Blinking slowly I reach up to brush my hair from my eyes and find myself curled on the floor before the empty fireplace. My dress is crumpled and twisted around my thighs. I sigh softly and glance around finally spotting the lilies lying around the room. They bring a smile to my lips and I rise to gather then into a bundle, carrying them off to the kitchen to place them in a vase of water.
I take the vase with me, placing it on the dressing table in the alcove where I can see them as I prepare for the day.
A quick shower refreshes me and takes the lingering stiffness from sleeping on the floor out of my muscles. I dry off and pad out into the alcove selecting a sarong to tie around my waist, white cloth with silver threads woven around the edges and into the fringe. I take up my hairbrush, my vase of lilies and stop in the kitchen for a mug of coffee on my way out onto the deck.
The morning sun is warm on my shoulders as I settle onto a lounge chair and take up my hairbrush. I am thoughtful as I slide the bristles through my damp locks, listening to the sounds of morning, smelling the freshness of the new day, feeling the world breathe around me*
