there is a place we all seek

a slumber deep and carefree

a place where there is peace

take my hand and follow me 

we'll write our own survival guide

with illustrations bright and bold

it will become famous, i tell ya

a part of every modern household!

no timetables will be necessary

no dress code to worry about

we'll feast on carbs and calories

really just chill-out!

no alarm clocks will be ringing

in this place i want to go

we will send invitations

to everyone we know!

we'll float by the moon and stars

with determination strong

giggles will be our currency

we'll sing a happy song!

but all that will have to wait

until a time in another year

you will be there next to me

never doubt it dear!

What an idyllic place, where there are no timetables, no dress code and just an nvitation to chill out. That is the kind of dream I like. Conveyed so well Lydi** and your artwork blends beautifully with your words. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Have a lovely time.

A delightful dreamscape, penned to perfection through idyllic imagery and metaphor, yes indeed my friend, and don't we all long for that sacred swansong but in the meantime, reality bites and chills like the cold north wind !

not a problem

[Patricia Wedel]

As an "understudy" to your poetry... I find a solace where
dreams lie and stillness sighs. The Autumn leaves scurry
on their way and the wind sings on Butterfly wings.
Wishing you the Joy of Chanukah. gently, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

This kinda sounds like my current retirement! *wink! wink!* Love the playfulness & imagination thru-out! Humans are so silly about restricting ourselves at every turn! (((HUGS)))

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, we are. Thanks for the lovely review, Margie...happy you are enjoying retirement. Lydi**

[Ken Simm.]

I can only agree and wish for the same things. Though if I could express it as well? Now that is debateable.

[Lydia Shutter]

I am sure you could easily do it, Ken. Thanks for the review. Lydi**
