One Summer Eve

One summer eve and too fatigued to keep from nodding off a moment longer, I succumbed and drifted underneath a sky of twinkling stars, and then when deep in sleep, I knew without a doubt that I could fly! I floated upward in a blissful flight where all the universe was mine to see. Ethereal I dreamed myself to be. I sojourned with the moon and in a light cast blue by seven sister stars near me! How wondrous was the Heaven I saw inked and all the earth so beautiful below as downward, drifting downward, I did go. I wakened. Orion above me winked, and I was all awash in moon’s gold glow! July 6, 2022/ Nature theme in three English Quatrain stanzas for It's All About Three Q's Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Andrea, this is one of your best! The image of Orion winking is just one of many that blend into a flight into moonglow. Discovered many years ago that dreams of flying are some of the advanced forms of dreaming! Happy flying my friend. Congratulations on your win!

Ahh!! Reads like a good contender in Constance's contest. Way to go. It would be nice to have a window in the ceiling and fall asleep looking at the stars. Your visits to my page always encourage. Sara
