Once upon midsummer’s dream We left this world of reality Riding off into the forest green Cooled by shade from noon day sun Hidden from the jealous sky In the shadows of fantasy Slipping cross trails of yon Draping veils of sheer cascade Passed hollows of spell bound lore Round corners of just beyond Till we came upon a silver stream Glistening in its playful tryst Rippling cross stones with blissful kiss And there upon the traveler’s cross That spanned the waters breadth We sat, hands clasped, dangling feet And felt the heat of lover’s breath Among waving grains of amber sea Touched by breeze of passion sweet And in your arms I found pure bliss Once upon midsummer’s dream s.a.t. Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Thank you dear friends. This was, in fact, a day in truth spent riding across the mountain with my husband through some stunning landscape and finding an old railroad tie bridge from ages past across a shimmering stream. It was truly a dream of a day and sweet in my memories. Good Friday morning, all --  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Susan, I cheated!! I read what you had written about what inspired your write. It was helpful for me in gleaning even more from your arsenal of metaphors... Must have been a truly enjoyable day. Sounds very enchanting. |

Most enjoyable, thanks Barry. Sometimes I miss the magic of living on a barely populated mountain with miles open to us for exploration. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Excellent! Several years ago, I saw Midsummer's Night Dream done under the stars at Sundance. I havenn't thought of it in years. This was powerful magic to bring up that memory. Thanks!!! |
