Rest With Your Dream In My Dream

 Ya eres mía. Reposa con tu sueño en mi sueño.

Amor, dolor, trabajos, deben dormir ahora.

Gira la noche sobre sus invisibles ruedas

y junto a mí eres pura como el ámbar dormido.

Ninguna más, amor, dormirá con mis sueños.

Irás, iremos juntos por las aguas del tiempo.

Ninguna viajará por la sombra conmigo,

sólo tú, siempre viva, siempre sol, siempre luna.

Ya tus manos abrieron los puños delicados

y dejaron caer suaves signos sin rumbo,

tus ojos se cerraron como dos alas grises,

mientras yo sigo el agua que llevas y me lleva:

la noche, el mundo, el viento devanan su destino,

y ya no soy sin ti sino sólo tu sueño.

Plaza de España ~ Madrid

In the center of the plaza is a monument to Spanish novelist, poet and playwright Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, which overlooks bronze sculptures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Next to the tower, there are two stone representations of Don Quixote's "true love", one as the simple peasant woman Aldonza Lorenzo, and one as the beautiful, imaginary Dulcinea del Toboso.

Walking Plaza Mayor

I walk slowly

like one who comes from so far away 

not intend to arrive

Lively Madrid

~ Weekend night in Madrid ~

There Was A Night

What we were under the moonlight;

Had once been a wish.

Now, a memory...

 Happy Valentine's Day!

Swirl

~ This photo was taken at the Temple of Debod in Madrid, Spain ~

Sunset, unbearably light

A kiss swirling in the air

vanishes in shadows

Creative Challenge ~ Sway

Listen to the song singing in the heart; 

as time swaying in the wind...

Madrid's fabulous Royal Palace, construction started in 1728, inspired by Bernini's designs for the Louvre in Paris, is one of Europe's outstanding architectural monuments.
