It is so peaceful on the ceiling!

Today is an absolutely gorgeous day! :D The weather is perfectly lovely. There is just the right amount of breeze. The flowers and the trees and the birds and the sky ... and everything is all so beautiful today. I think I shall have to go read outside again. :)

Poem~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It is so peaceful on the ceiling!
It is the Place de la Concorde.
The little crystal chandelier
is off, the fountain is in the dark.
Not a soul is in the park.

Below, where the wallpaper is peeling,
the Jardin des Plantes has locked its gates.
Those photographs are animals.
The mighty flowers and foliage rustle;
under the leaves the insects tunnel.

We must go under the wallpaper
to meet the insect-gladiator,
to battle with a net and trident,
and leave the fountain and the square.
But oh, that we could sleep up there. . . .
