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.

First Phil, welcome back. It has been a long time, and it is so refreshing to see your always very deep and very profound contribution of this beautiful corner.

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..

hope you remember me?

Hello Phyllis,
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.

Hello Stell,
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.

Glad to hear your memory is in such good a shape my dear Phil. I thought you'd say "who can forget me? " lol rolling on the floor laughing

Seriously I'll get it. And go from there. Just discovered the blog section and its interesting. Posted some articles. I'm inviting you to check them out when you have time.

Comments are all dynamics that stirs my rusting brain so I'm into it.

Used to work and live in Geneva a long time ago and shopped in Lyon
Retired finally and hopefully I'll write a book.



Thanks Phil

Phyllis,
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.
