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!)
