A poem

Hello, my dear readers!

Today, I do not want to make a long introduction because I simply want to share a poem with you, called “Wander through violets”. Enjoy reading it!

A dream to go far, far away

And soak in the rays of sun I have

That fall on the fields of violets.

Under the province sun to sit,

Just under a shady old truffle oak.

Oh, how I would like to wander

On a carpet of greens and purples,

Reds, browns and yellows,

Fondle the soft surfaces of the velvet cloak,

to free the sweet yet herbal scent.

But it is not of the heat

That my legs won’t go.

It is merely the tiredness of my feet.

Anon I softly open my eyes again,

Some sun rays fall atop my face,

A book on my chest,

Oh, I tried to rest!

And realise that it was just a dream,

A dream to go far, far away

And soak in the rays of sun

That fall on the fields of violets.

This is a short poem that I spontaneously wrote about getting through January and away of all the exams and all the studying that I have to do. Maybe you can relate to my feelings for this period. I hope you enjoyed it because I really had to jump over my shadow to share it with you.

     This was my inspiration for the poem. Thank you, Renee Auguste for this          wonderful painting.
