Greetings from the Blue Lagoon - Is it a midsummer night's dream?

A dream or not a dream...that is the question.  Is this the mysterious blue lagoon of exotic lands, or is it a figment of imagination?   Come with me and then decide.
It is a warm misty night and dusk is falling.  The sky is azure blue with the first stars just appearing.  Night birds call from deep in the woods.  I walk on wet grass all around a field and bask in starlight.  Crossing the lawn back to the pool I see steam rising above the hot tub, and although I hear voices and laughter, no faces are visible in the blue mist.  I continue on to take a swim.   The air is fragrant and moist with flower scents. A spell of mystery beckons me to immerse my body in the cooling waters of our blue lagoon.  Other bathers glide past.  A couple near the deep end are entwined in eachother's arms, unaware of our presence.  The dim light provides a cloak of mystery that allows for the unexpected to happen.  A touch, the meeting of eyes, the flash of a smile, an invitation?  We are so far from home that an encounter with a stranger is all too possible.  The heartbeat quickens, the tingle of excitement begins.  Will you swim away, or will you stay?  Here in my blue lagoon anything is possible.
