For sunday Scribblings 2. The prompt " plum" I put the plum in my mind and it just sat there like a plum does. It stayed a plum. Luckily in English words are broken up like plum tree. So I can use that as well. In Dutch it would be one word.
Painting Armand Guilaumin
Under the plum tree
In the shadow of a plum tree
she sat down leaving where light begun
Entering a dream world
of velvety clouds kissed by the sun
Cradling in this sacred space
escaping from her daily wars
descending into peace full thoughts
rooted in a thousand stars
the pink plum tree blossom
towers like a crown
above her shimmering hair
meandering over her simple gown
A man passing by, bewitched by her being
his heart erupting, love flowing free
reflected in the eyes
of the girl under the plum tree
Romantic and sweet. Love reflected in the eyes is a beautiful final image.
