The video is a real place, called the "Tunnel of Love" and is located in Kleven, Ukraine!
Extraordinary
It's an ordinary wish
to be loved
intensely
as if tomorrow wouldn't exist
without a touch, a smile,
a glance,
for his world
to arch over my days
protecting, cherishing, sharing
as our limbs, laughter,
thoughts entwine
like two old oaks
whose once sapling branches
have interlaced, become
dependent upon the other
for life itself.
It's extraordinary
my wish came true.

This is linked with Imaginary Garden with Real Toad's "Transforming Friday's with Hannah - Magical Natural Locations - Hungry Eyes, haunted hearts" Wow - that is quite a title, but Hannah promises us 21 more incredible places over the next few months and I can't wait!
This poem stole my breath. Stunning,esp. the last two stanzas, as is the video!
ReplyDeleteMMMM. Each of your images is restrained to a richness that makes that ordinary wish an extraordinary find.
ReplyDeletewhose once sapling branches
ReplyDeletehave interlaced, become
dependent upon the other
But the young hearts remain forever young despite the interlacing branches. Nicely Marge!

How clever to see the tunnel itself as the protective arms of the lover. A life-long relationship of love is something to treasure.
