    OF DEWDROPS AND DAYDREAMS

    Dewdrops and daydreams
    sprinkled with sunbeams bright,
    a garden of pure enchantment
    soothes my heart tonight.
    And as the sun prepares to set,
    the day beginning to slip
    away and out of sight,
    butterflies and fairies
    grace the flowers and trees
    and steal my heart away.
    For within this garden,
    this magical place,
    I find the words to describe
    the treasures I find,
    images that capture
    what I wanted to say;
    my soul stirred,
    my heart transported,
    if only for a time,
    as I stroll through
    its crystal-lined pathways
    and inhale the fragrances
    that sustain me there.

    And as I leave the garden
    and the magic that I’ve found,
    I go on about my day once more,
    back to reality for a little while,
    more refreshed,
    my outlook renewed,
    than I was before.

    THE MAGIC TREE

    The tree in the mist
    It sees all that
    Come and goes
    Yet no one knows
    It sleeps all day
    Awakes by early darn
    When the stars come out
    Dance in the moon light so free
    Sings a lovely lullaby
    Only the children can heard
    And off the dream land they do go
    Pretty green and brown leaves
    Covers its eyes by day early light
    The tree in the mist
    So pretty to see
    If your good
    Very very good
    I can even see it smile

    ENCHANTED

    Bewitch and captivate by his charm
    I was so smitin at his smile
    He allure my charm
    I could not denie
    Hypnotize so mesmerize
    A table set for two
    Flowers oh so delightful
    The aroma filled the air
    Candles shindin bright
    Fey intriguin and ravishing it was
    A glamorous evenin it was
    Music softly playin
    Off in a distant
    It was pure magic
    Like the garden of Eden
    A paradise build ed for two
    Heaven on earth
    And I was his princess
    He was my king ht in shin armor
    We dance the night
    As he held me tightly
    And whisper
    Oh so sweet words in my ear
    Then I awaken
    He was all but gone

    :groovy: I know of one “Enchanted garden of a place, in an enchanted land 80,000 leagues under the sea”, A Once Upon A Time kind of place, that nearly fell into the hands of some very mean, meanie type people, but then that was long ago on a journey so far out in the imagination of memory…..
    I recall it was a playful land of spice and music…. and one very determined Lord Admiral named Fred…as so the story began… :mrgreen: :love:

    Wonderful theme Diane and Jon! I was already working on this. The secret garden theme was perfect for the ending!

    Secret Garden
    A Shakespearean Love Sonnet

    Among our discontents, we cringe to think:
    so much forgotten, only traces left.
    What of our history survives to drink
    so memories do not leave us bereft?

    What ho! To pluck a rose from days gone by
    as vivid as it once was in that time!
    Upon new sonnet’s verse to lay a sigh.
    for joys unveiled long years before this rhyme.

    Remembrances of he and her entwined.
    Two plied the season’s warm inviting thighs
    beneath a summer moon; true love defined,
    enjoying rose’s bloom before it dies.

    Through traces in two hearts held deep inside,
    shared secret gardens of delights reside.

    Click the pic to see the Garden : June 2009

    The Scrub Jay comes for peanuts, and will land on my knee.
    Lettuce goes to Flower, and there are Lemons in the Tree.
    Sunlight splatters Rainbows through the Crystals on the stand.
    Faeries dance in shadows, singing, “Sacred Land!”

    midnight dreams flowing in the day time.
    In comes my magical dreams insight.
    I am flowing around butterflies so bright.
    In this magical garden every this is delight.
    I picture my self dancing in the summer breeze.
    My heart so warm it will never again freeze.
    My magical garden shows me many blessing to be.
    The butterflies renew my soul.
    And they start to tell a story told.
    Fly with us to the magical moon.
    Hurry now its almost noon.
    We have a gift to give to you.
    A life you always dream about.
    So don’t worry and pout.
    Come with us this magical day.
    We will show you a happy day.
    Lets dance and sway in garden of bliss.
    Lets give mother nature a big
    kiss.
    Lets flow with the golden rays to heaven has we pray.
    Can you feel the warmth of the sun raise.
    It’s come to greet you today.
    Smile the day in the garden is great.
    Lets take a small break.
    Lets breath in the fresh air.
    And lets smile from ear to ear.
    Do you see all the magical near.
    Lets find a spot to set and watch the flowers dance.
    Maybe then you will sway and prance.

    Dans le jardin magique, j’ai trouvé :
    Une feuille d’Automne, de l’arbre déjà tombée
    Dans le jardin magique, j’ai trouvé :
    Une fée sous un chêne, un nain sous un pommier.

    Dans le jardin magique, j’ai trouvé :
    Une fontaine fraiche, un chemin oublié
    Dans le jardin magique, j’ai trouvé :
    Un oubli, pour la peine, un amour, pour durer.

    In the Magic Garden, I found:
    An autumn leaf, from the tree already fallen.
    In the Magic Garden, I found :
    A fairy under an oak, a dwarf under an Apple tree.

    In the Magic Garden, I found:
    A fresh fountain, a forgotten path
    In the magical garden, I found:
    An oversight for the sorrow, a love to last.

    In my magical garden I set waiting on my lover.
    My heart searching for a midnight luck clover.
    The roses fill my heart with delight.
    For it’s a lover in sight.
    My wings I can fly so high.
    To the moon I will rise.
    Ill forget all about the strife.
    I’m a charmed one in my eyes.
    But if my lover don’t come soon I will cry.
    I would like to midnight dance.
    Hold his hand and just sway and prance.

    Thank you for once again providing an inspiring topic! For some reason lately, Thursdays seem to be the only days I get a chance to work something up. Hopefully things will settle down so I can visit on some other days as well. I truly miss being more active with the CPC. Bless you, one and all!

    The Enchanted Garden.
    THERE is a garden where I love to dwell,-
    There no rude winds do blow, nor scorching sun
    Shines in upon the work ere it is done;
    Nor anything there done too sad to tell;
    For there all life is an enchanted spell.
    It is a place where crystal Waters run,
    Gurgling through flowery mead which charm-
    eth one
    Like the soft chimings of a distant bell.
    Within this garden grows the tree which yields
    To man the measure of its fruitful joys;
    And in its mighty top and branches shields
    The charméd inmates that it there decoys;
    There all the blushing flowers of virtue start,__
    It is the garden of a lovely heart. :love:
