When I Close My Eyes

"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown ..." Quote by _Samuel Taylor Coleridge (from his writings) wrapped in a plaintive trance, when I close my eyes, surreal abode appears in my faint dream, encompassed by stunning garden..mesmerize all around charming wildflower bushes gleam blushing damsel in a pretty dainty cloak, on a swing, reveling in, beside a stream. fluttering, twirling, swaying... lovely lass spoke frolicking with the dahlias, beaming rose butterflies kissed flowers around soaring oak . doting warmth of precious friends gleefully close tranquil village-path, starlit sky, the moon shines murmuring river flows...jubilation shows . tender love bloomed, witnessed by silver tall pines hamlet in memory encircled by vines !

Beautiful Mala! Well deserved congratulations! What an enchanted garden with a "lovely lass" frolicking through beauty! I, too, had an enchanted garden when I was a child. If was filled with so many lovely flowers that filled our home and places to daydream while watching cloud ships in the sky! Just lovely dear friend! Blessings, hugs and much love!
