When the summer comes we shall meet again, my friend, For the woods are brimming in blooms and blowing fresh roses, And love is burning diamonds hanging around chestnut trees. A maiden sits along riverbanks combing her hair, it’s where I will sing to you without moment despair, And lay my aching weariness upon you lovely glances. In the living sea of waking dreams, The merry bees are trampling the pinky threads all season long, And the goldfinch is brooding on its swarthy mossy nest, In the ripples of spring water Where reflects my youth, I'll smile to her eyes and I'll hum softly to her ears, And not bothered by her sometimes wailing flares… I long for a greenfield where we never trod, A place where women never hide or weep, Despite the nothingness of noise and scorns, Despite a living-heart neither freed nor prisoned,: I walk again into the woods and sweetly I pray: When the summer comes we meet there, my friend! Untroubling and untroubled is where we lie This whitethorn bush below—above the velvet sky.

A Quick Note: for the returning readers, some contents of the original posts have been take down as I’m trying to re-arrange my blogging style (I’d like separate the poetry posts from the more causal writings).
Beautiful poem, dear Annabel! And, the pics are all lovely. Beauty abounds in this post! ❤️🤗🙏

WOW! The poem was wonderful with several great lines. My favorite is: In the living sea of waking dreams! Then I see how you are living life to the fullest with your passion and love for dance. I bet that was a challenge to teach dance over Zoom. I couldn’t image that. However, the princess warrior in you prevail.
My week consist of working, doing homework for my masters degree. Also, I am in the process of produced a song. It is challenging. I am good with writing the words, but learning to the studio production part. I will chip away at it though.
Thank You for sharing your week. It put a smile on my face. You are an inspiration! Kudo’s

Wow, wow!🤗 Thank you for being soooo kind of sharing your week with us!🥳 I feel very happy whenever there’s a sense of relatedness lights up during the days.🥰
And yes, there’s tons of challenges to rehearse on Zoom, but sometimes even more ‘challenges’ to work with the few ‘tough people’ face to face..😂😂
How wonderful to know that your Master study has kept you busy and fulfilled!💕 Are your majoring in Music? I have same problem when it comes to the studio production AND esp the technology…😂😂🤪

Annabel, you have such humor😂 My master is in Business. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services. So I want to be prepared to own and run my own business.
With the music, I just want to know the basics. then I can send it to the professionals to mix it and finalize it for consumption!
