The Bell of Truth
– dedicated to my beta-reader Riverotter –
There is a truth to the heart of things and creatures, be they tree or stone, elf or men. It is a truth deeper than what you can see, a truth that lies beyond what you can touch, a truth that says more than any name.
As my hands glide down your body and your golden hair flows over my brown skin, I feel the great bell of this truth begin to toll, a deep solemn sound reverberating through our bodies and our souls.
You are the one for me.
I am the one for you.
Goldberry and Tom.
Ding-a-long-dong.
