- Oasis -

    Could it be thoughts, images in my head
    or dreams painted with colors in acrylic and water
    that keeps me upright in the storm
    in tough times and desert wanderings
    Sensory impressions in the awake state
    with pleasure, expectations
    embroidered in artistic decorative stitching

    An amphitheater oasis that is reflected in the water mirror
    early morning with plenty of time, peace and tranquility
    Discover the giant beech trees
    which climbs boldly up toward the sky
    Carefully tread on the metre-long carpets
    with white and blue anemones
    Picking gold in the forest, the chanterelles, for breakfast
    Listen to the enormous variety of birdsong
    as I rest on the bright green moss

What a lovely experience walking through the grove of giant beech trees and resting on the green moss laced with white and blue anemones, listening to lovely bird songs. Simply heavenly, dear Anne.....! Love and hugs.

In the water mirror! How beautiful is that. You have a way with writing in such a descriptive manner that evokes so many thoughts and awakens senses as we read, and see and feel through your word weaving! Pleasure reading you after a long time: best wishes for the contest. I hope 2024 treats you well
