A view from a Tower in Calabria, Italy

A winding lake snakes through bifurcated hills

like lazy flowers wobbling in the breeze

Stucco rust roofs are necklaces on the hills

blushing in the light, pink - fog - white, dark emerald greem


Parting hills are cheeks smiling

on roosters crowing, dogs barking, bird chirping

Water trickers awakening everything


As in a grand finale of an Opera

A stunning sunset is an orchestra of red - orange - gold - fuchsia

Melodious curtains of light make feel like the god Mercury

Born from a Spring, Sprouting freely, pointing to heaven


Wings at my feet

I want to travel the world, share all that I see

if only there were peace.
