I was inspired by the thoughts of being able to lie here and read, listen to nature and perhaps share it with another….
Canopy
Lay with me gazing past the canopy
At stars alighting trees
And read to me love sonnets
From your notebook
Sleep with me awake
Without anticipation – only
Two hearts to beat as one
Souls attached by darkness
And in the morning light
See my facade relaxed
In freedom and in peace
With our circumstance.
Let me believe in love.
as fresh as the setting. an intact dream. 🙂

Yes ravishing is the optimum word for the photo. I fear I would leave all behind and snuggle with the man who set this up – unfortunately, I think it may have been a woman 😀

I absolutely adore your words Lesley. A “free verse” love sonnet! Perfectly suited to the gorgeous setting in the photograph!

Free verse is perfect for me in that I belt out so many desires and hopes not only for myself but for humanity. If all would embrace a little love, romance and sonnets OH what a wonderful world this would be. Thank you Penny. So happy to see you *smile again xx
