Sofia's Dream

For Sofia Coppola The epitome of serenity lies just beneath the foot of me sashaying through the sweet, clean grass White linen bathes my skin my loose hair dancing in the wind billowy clouds, how silently they pass Oh Mozart! take my heart dance playfully and light about my mind Mandolin disrupts the wind glint of sunshine blinds my eye fat, sumptuous grapes exploding on the vine Brie, bordeaux, wild strawberries fill the bounty set in front of me my avid hunger puts me to the test To my woolly lamb, how safe I am amongst the wheat so tall and tan as I hold him firm and snug against my breast Take me home thatched roof and stone the proud gazebo stands beyond the stream My duvet of straw and hay my eyes they close, my body lay to lose myself inside Sofia's dream. My impression after viewing Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.

What a wonderful tribute to Sofia! It magically transports me to another place and time like the hauntingly beautiful songs of Loreena McKinnitt! Love it! Hugs. Pandita

Thank you Pandita. I think she brought the movie Marie Antoinette full circle with so much romantic imagery. This was my impression after watching it (a million times!)
