tir na nog spirits floating...

Fall Freedom Forest

celtic winter peace
gentle snowflakes drifting by
my heart shares sweet tears

"17" mystical dreamscape wishes... :):):)

DREAM~~~DARE~~~DIVE!!! :):):)

as beautiFULL muse Lorena McKennitt
shares her serenity song "Snow"...

and I dream...


white are the far-off plains
and white the fading forests grow
the wind dies out amongst the tides
and denser still the snow
a gathering weight on roof and tree
falls down scarce audibly

the meadows and far-sheeted streams
lie still without a sound
like some soft minister of dreams
the snowfall hoods me around
in wood and water, earth and air
a silence is everywhere

save when at lonely spells
some farmer's sleigh is urged on
with rustling runner and sharp bells
swings by me and is gone;
or from the empty waste I hear
a sound remote and clear

the barking of a dog
to cattle is sharply pealed
borne echoing from some wayside stall
or barnyard far afield
then all is silent and the snow
falls settling soft and slow

the evening deepens and the grey
folds closer earth to sky
the world seems shrouded so far away
its noises sleep and I
as secret as yon buried stream
plod dumbly on and dream

and dream
and dream
i dream
and I dream…

Wow, John, that's beautiful. I love the diagonal lines of the benchs behind the tree,
forming that design with it, and the other tree seeming to emerge from nowhere.
