Dreams…

October 19, 2012 By Marit 26 Comments

… in Autumn.

 

Ga mee naar Schotland

dan wandelen we nog eens

langs ‘Water of Leith’

Let’s go to Scotland

and stroll along the river

Like we did before

(Written for Haiku my Heart Friday - list of today's participants here)

 

or… even better…

Let’s hop one island further and go to Ireland.

We could visit the Belfast festival at Queens.
See ‘Van the Man‘ in concert.

OH MAN… if only…

but I am home.
That’s nice too.
I will play with paint and brushes
this weekend.
And I will dream.

I might even put on a CD
and think of you, dear blog readers.

‘Have I told you lately that I love you?’

    Dreams? I have been dreaming of being on the road and finding myself in strange as well as familiar places. Now that I am grounded a while and Winter is approaching, I really feel the wanderlust to do nothing more than experience weather and seasonal culinary delights from other regions of my own country.
    Keep traveling in your dreams, my friend. And take all the time you need.

    Peace

    I’ve wanted to see Scotland for years – the rugged countryside, the islands, the men in kilts and maybe a Selkie or 2!

    so thank you greatly
    for taking me back…

    lovely photo & inviting haiku.
    water reflection
    is part of my haiku photo
    this morning,
    as well…

    to look Down
    and see the sky
    is magic …

    ♥

    i suffer badly
    with wanderlust,
    or
    should i say
    i suffer pleasantly
    with wanderlust …

    I think that is the best thing about our imaginations and our artist minds – we can travel wherever we want to without ever having to leave home ! 😉
    It’s a marvelous night for a sliver of a moon dance…
    Much love to you, Creative One !

    Marit, your amazing posts always feed my creative soul with inspiration! I’ve a lot of catching up to do, My Friend! Having read this post, I find myself dreaming of verdant green fields and sparkling still waters. Such a beautiful way to begin my day!

    I just dusted the cobwebs away from my blog and had to stop by to say “hello” and see what you were up to. I’m soooo happy that I did! Hugs, Terri ♥

    Hallo Marit, hoe gaat het met je? Hier alles goed hoor. Druk met mijn nieuwe dagelijkse haiku meme Carpe Diem.
    Wat een mooie haiku al moet ik eerlijk zeggen dat ik de Engelse versie mooier vindt dan de Nederlandse vertaling, maar dat is wellicht persoonlijk.
    What a wonderful haiku Marit, it’s so romantic … walking along the river with the one you love.
