Queen Of Dreams
Inspired by a song on Grave New World by The Strawbs
I was listening to “Grave New World” by The Strawbs and noticed the song title “Queen of Dreams”. The lyrics of the song are impressive to0 so I have used them as a guide for my own poem. This a free form with a sonnet base.
The final three lines of my poem are from "The Book of Invasions"
This is the first verse written by Dave Cousins:
Spoke the Queen of Dreams
I was Lord of the Forest
Walked within her paths
Sheltered within her bowers
Pine needles for my pillow
The dove my only true friend
I was Lord of the Forest
👑👸🧜♂️🧜♀️🧜
I am the Lord of Always
And You are the Queen of Dreams
Sailing on the Ocean A Maze
Your Silver Paths There Do Gleam
👑👸
I am the Lord of Ever
You are the Deep Ocean Queen
Love with perfect endeavour
In Coral Caves Beauty Seen
👑👸
I am the Lord of Friendship
You are the Queen of All Love
Showing Your Great Ladyship
The Sea Below, Sky Above
👑👸
If I Were King of Morning
And You Were Queen Of Day
I would love You
👑👸🧜♂️🧜♀️🧜

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
