Amy's Gentle Dream

3 min 49 sec

High among the sun warmed leaves of the tallest apple tree in the meadow, Amy the apple blushed a rosy red and listened to the soft hum of bees.
She loved how the breeze rocked her branch like a cradle and how the sky above looked like a calm blue lake.

Amy had one small wish: to be picked by the nicest kid who ever visited the orchard.
Each morning she would stretch her round cheeks toward the sun and practice looking her sweetest, hoping that today might be the day.

The robins nesting nearby told her stories of children who spoke kindly to plants and who laughed like gentle bells, and Amy stored every tale inside her shiny skin.
One afternoon a hush settled over the meadow as a little girl named Lily stepped through the gate with a straw basket on her arm.

Her footsteps sounded soft on the grass, and she hummed a tune so peaceful that the crickets quieted to listen.
Amy felt her branch sway a little closer, drawn by the warmth in Lily’s eyes.

Instead of grabbing quickly, Lily stood beneath the canopy of leaves and breathed in the sweet scent of ripening fruit.
She spoke in a whisper, thanking the trees for sharing their gifts, and Amy’s heart glowed.

A butterfly landed on Lily’s shoulder like a tiny blessing, and Amy knew this was the child she had waited for.
Still, the tallest branch was high, and the tree held Amy gently, not wanting to let her go too soon.

Clouds drifted overhead, painting soft shadows across the orchard floor, and time seemed to slow so the moment could stretch like honey.
Amy felt the sap inside her settle into a calm rhythm, matching the slow steady beat of Lily’s patient heart below.

A squirrel scampered along a neighboring limb, pausing to watch with bright curious eyes, as if the whole grove held its breath.
Lily set her basket down and placed both palms against the sturdy trunk, closing her eyes in quiet gratitude.

She promised the tree she would care for whichever fruit chose to come home with her, and the leaves rustled like soft applause.
Amy felt the promise wrap around her like sunshine, and she loosened her hold upon the branch just enough to show she was ready.

A puff of wind arrived, tender as a lullaby, and lifted Amy free, cradling her in the air so she floated rather than fell.
Lily opened her eyes in time to catch the little apple in both hands, surprise lighting her face like dawn.

She laughed, a sound like water trickling over smooth stones, and lifted Amy to her cheek for a gentle nuzzle.
Together they left the shade of the great tree, walking slowly so Amy could watch the sky change colors through the leaves one last time.

At the edge of the orchard Lily sat beneath a willow and polished Amy’s skin until it shone like a tiny sunset.
She spoke softly of plans to share the apple with her grandmother who waited at home with a warm oven and a cinnamon smile.

Amy felt no fear, only a deep contentment, because love had picked her, and love would carry her forward.
The journey ended at a cozy kitchen where honey light pooled on wooden counters and an old lady hummed the same tune Lily had hummed beneath the tree.

Slices slipped into a pan, and the fragrance of comfort wrapped the room like a quilt, telling Amy that dreams fulfilled can feed the world with gentleness.
