"Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works." Virginia Wolf


If I close my eyes,
I can see,
Open fields of green.
If I close my eyes,
I can feel,
The wind blowing freely.
If I close my eyes,
I can hear,
Birdsong far and near.
If I close my eyes,
I can taste and smell,
Country air everywhere.
If I close my eyes,
They open wide,
To a dream land of mine.
