On river of dreams I float,

magical utopia where

visions are fulfilled;

breathing is effortless as

I feel natural rhythm in

balance with beating heart.

 

Many colours of Autumn

drift across forest in a

single moment of bliss,

tantalizing lucid attention;

fresh breezes cooling while

robin flaunts red breast in

display, showing authority

this chilly day.

 

Venture along rugged footpath

with eager excitement as

Winter's baby blue sky peeps

between overhang of old oak

limbs; still traces of leaves

loyally cling...not afraid to be

windswept, but like myself

determined and steadfast till

the end.

Bless you insert. I'm doing a lot better now, although I do get frustrated at having to sleep on my back constantly, will be so glad when I can curl up on my side. smiley

I can't wait to go out walking properly, especially on one of my nature rambles. At the moment it's just up and down the road with a stick and getting tired quite quickly, but at least the future looks brighter.

Many thanks for stopping by to read and thank you so much for the lovely cherries, they made my day.

Jenny.

How lovely to have you back writing again! This is beautiful, and wonderful to read after I've just spent an afternoon out in the freezing cold rain. Thank you for cheering me up.

Hi airyfairy, and you've made my day with your kind words. I feel for you having to go out in this weather, certainly been very wet and freezing cold here too, but thankfully I haven't had to go out.

It's good to be back writing again, especially as I've had writers block since the operation, but this poem just came to me out of the blue and was a pleasure to write.

I'm glad I could cheer you up, makes writing even more enjoyable.

Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

Jenny.

It's so good to have visions and memories of such places from the years of being able to visit, and refreshed with online or TV vidieos, but the miind being able to feel and so convey the feeling of being there, seeing and feeling the smell and detail of the surfaces. My husband tells me we have a robin who attends him while he gardens now! Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

you're right, it's a pleasure being able to write about memories of places and times from the past. Being able to share them in a poem makes it even more special.

Also many times when I've been gardening, robin has kept me company, waiting to spy a juicy worm or two. they're such tame little birds and very territorial.

Thank you for your understanding comment of this poem.

Jenny.

You are so good at describing birds - I LOVED

"robin flaunts red breast in

display, showing authority

this chilly day" They really DO always look like they are in charge :0)

I am so happy you are improving! I am glad you are taking it gently though, these icy roads are scary to walk on

It's always lovely to hear from you Di, with your perceptive words. I do think the robin is in charge, despite the small size, and will guard its territory with determination.

I haven't been out for a couple of days, but have been walking around the house and continuing the exercises which will strengthen my hip. I am going back to hospital tomorrow to finish my last lot of physiotherapy treatment. I just hope I've done enough. It's a torture having to sleep on my back, and find myself getting up and down in the night just to relieve my body from the same position, it will be such bliss to sleep on my side once again and I can't wait.

Many thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts which are always appreciated.

Jenny.

That's a beautiful seasonal poem full of vivid imagery.

Love the pen picture of possibly my favourite bird of all. I adore robins :)

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement on this poem Paul.

I too love robins, they always remind me of gardening and growing flowers and vegetables, which I hope I'll be ablle to do again next year, but I suppose that depends on how fit I become. smiley she says smiling. 

Glad you liked the pen picture I visioned too,

Jenny.
