Dream Variations
~Langston Hughes
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
A tall, slim tree...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.

Beautiful, dreamy poem - did you take the picture? Amazing rings around the sun…
Love the pic, and enjoyed the poem,thank you, new to me.
Hi Barbara and Gael!
Thanks for visiting. Yes, I did take the photo - February 2nd at my usual morning spot. I try to spend a few moments there every week day - it centers me and calms me.
Hugs!
