Weeping Willows, Berkhamsted, Herts taken by the author, Darren Greenidge A warm sticky day
greets many a soul
The sun beating down
on lazy days
A woman sits
under a tree
Willows drinking from
the canal
She sits reading
a book
Lost in its story
on an adventure
The shade cools
her brow
The branches sway
in the breeze
Calming her soul
resting her mind
Relaxed and
at one with her surroundings
She slowly drifts
to sleep
Her book falling
in her lap
Lost in weird and
wonderful dreams
Under the willow
tree
The tree protects
her
Shields her from
the outside world
As she dreams of
heroes
Saving her from
a tyrant’s wrath
She dreams of mad
hares
Fighting alongside
heroes all
And her battling
monsters
Slashing away at
oncoming darkness
She is in his
arms then
This hero she
loves dear
And just as they
kiss
She awakes as
a boat goes by
The wisps of the
dream going
The man on
the boat familiar
She picks up her book
and walks away
From under the
willow tree
As the trees
sigh in the breeze
Waiting for another’s
dreams
I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
