I Wish to Linger Long

The day's summer shadows
guide my fortuitous way;
sunbeams sparkle
like a million jewels,
leaving me in touch
with nature at its best;
it all seems dreamy,

when through a glade,
concealed by tall grasses,
threads of gossamer
hide rainbow colours.
Then, hidden from view,
I spy a golden lake;
a magic shimmer
of ripples,
as silent whispers
of a gentle breeze
take my breath away;
I wish to linger long.

You take me there, and make it so vivid, and delightful. Thank you! Rhiannon (linger long' is a nice bit of alliteration!)

actually, 'linger long' seems quite onomatopoeic, doesn't it? Rhiannon

Hi Pi, yes! wouldn't it be wonderful, to have a place like this that you could go to? You can linger long by this lake anytime you like Pia, if only in your minds eye. Thankyou for reading and I hope you are okay. Jenny.

Hello Jenny, Yes, a beautifully written poem that paints an idyllic picture of tranquillity. Reading your words I found I was transported and for the time spent reading this I was there enjoying the hazy sunshine and viewing the scene as if through a gossamer curtain. Wonderfully descriptive. Moya

Hi Moya, Oh! for the peace...quiet and beauty, which I hopefully captured in this poem, I think I did from your beautiful words. It's so good to be able to transport you to a place of calm. Thankyou so much for reading, it's always appreciated, knowing it's touched the soul. Jenny.
