STILL NIGHT DREAMING



The night is still
no frog dares raise its voice
no insect hums
no leaf by wind disturbed
no lowing calf or sheep bleat
rends the tranquil air

What portend brings
this night so deep
what dreams may wake
and quicken?

The day at rest
and I at peace
the senses stirring
hushed night's dreaming

My head upon a pillow soft
nestles with eyelids drooping
slips gently by a dream caressed
into an angel's keeping

I roam a landscape often trod
not from this life remembered
in castle tall or by some brook
I move free and unfettered
faces feelings lovers lost
beckon, with smile remembered.

  3. Hi Arija! These are fairytale pictures matching the dreamlike poem! Is it yours? Or Shakespeares? Have a great weekend.

  4. I really love the first photo in particular, Arija. The poem is really atmospheric and goes so well with the pictures. We have nights like this here in Giraffe World too.

  7. Hello Arija. Your post today is stunning. I really like the sun rays.

    Pick a Peck of Pixels is my photo blog with a difference -- I am hoping you are the difference. For this blog to be famous and me written about in the Wall Street Journal like I was in the seventies, will require more than a couple of dozen hits a day. If 10,000 visitors leave comments then it is instantly famous and your comments are part of history. Lets Make History.

  15. My dear Arija! I am so tempted to keep you all to myself! Your poem is so beautiful and I think I see a landscape that screams my name!

    How are you today beloved friend and teacher?

  16. Thanks Arija for the comments! Yes, Chambord was not furnished that's why I had no indoor shots. The other one, Cheverny, is still inhabited by the marquis, who lately presented a TV documentary on Cheverny, according to miss Yves. I am sorry that I can't see it for I can't receive French TV.
