Perhaps I had fallen asleep Like Rip Van Winkle And had pleasant dreams. Who knows? All I know I woke one day In an earthly paradise. As I exited my room, onto the balcony, I saw an awesome landscape. And for all that is good I have no recollection of the name Of the place I found myself in. Cliffs surrounded the little village. On top I could discern so many trees, Larches, pines, and sturdy spruce. Down in the hamlet, grew Low growing oaks and walnut trees, Flourishing around dispersed homes. Down the cliff a river flowed down And wended itself further down the hill. The air was pure and birds sang. My wife called me for breakfast. I was hungry but loathe to leave Such a magnificent beautiful scene.

What marvellous musing to wake-up in an Utopia untrodden to bid adieu to the harsh realities, thanks Victor for this splendid, authentic share with simile of Rip Van Winkle!

You are an expert in painting beautiful landscapes, Victor ! Switzerland is perhaps one of the most beautiful countries of the world ! Even if it is a reverie, it is set in a very probable back drop.

A place not to want to leave. I too, think of the place my husband use to take me. The waterfalls were beautiful with all the surrounding forest. Love the poem. Hugs eve
