Provence
Sojourn must I to Provence again,
to its clear and love spun sky,
there, warm the breeze weaves a sigh
amid honeyed fields of sun kist grain,
I must go to Provence yet once again
where soft Orient rays caress the dawn,
languishing long on the mist hung morn,
as Lavender mimics the skies blue reign,
its quietude of beauty enraptures the lea,
from new sprung dawn to Westerns fiery eve,
unknown to fools frantic laundered plea,
unaware what the riches of the heart conceive,
Thus, my whispering emotion truly can say,
the spell of Provence has stolen my wits away.

This is a very soothing, very calming and very refreshing at the same time. I am now imagining myself there in the same scenery where the valley is full of flowers, in the lea, and with great peace and silence all to myself.
a testament to beauty we get from nature.. in the meadow,
thanks Phil..

So many thanks for getting to the heart of Provence, your perception highlights your poetic self, perhaps I ought to be a little bit 'cheeky' and invite you to acquire my book, 'Pen Painted words', your comments would be interesting, or just how antipodean they might be. Oh! by the way, my memory is still intact.

First of all, thank you for your kind words, if you ever go to Provence, make sure it's when the air is fragrant filled with the subtle perfume of Lavender in full bloom, then you will breathe in paradise.

You said in your comment that you hopefully wish to write a book, can I encourage you to do so, whilst it's an awful lot of hard work, the reward of being in print is exclusive and rather special, so here's to your sucess,
Phil.
