Designed By Dreams

Come my love, let us dream and fly away to France. C’est la vie when night time falls and déjà vu grows strong. Let us risk reality and dream the whole night long. Fantasies, come twirl and dance then, bring us sweet romance. Joi de vivre perchance askance, let our thoughts enhance. Say au revoir, everyone, together we belong. Forever joined in happiness singing life’s sweet song. Let us cross that great expanse where hearts are free to prance. Embrace with me this nighttime dream; fly away…perchance! Dreams become reality, grown from thoughts and days. We’ll stop to drink café au lait strolling down midways. Hear Edith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose” sing to our minds. Reality can make headway watching dreams' sashays. Let us go to Arc de Triomphe, then, watch the French ballets. In notre Paris we shall be, as by our dreams designed. ã June 3, 2012 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Written for Poetry Soup Member Contest: UN, DEUX, TROIS…OOH LA LA!!!

Thanks to all who viewed and enjoyed, and an extra thanks to those who commented. Since I don't speak French, this was a challenge to me, but I enjoyed every minute writing it. I was so happy to place in the top 10. A special thanks goes to Cyndi MacMillan for choosing me for that honor. Thank you all!
