Calling Me Home
The bells call to me from
My home in Tuscany
I will walk again across the bridge
and over the hill to a hundred smaller hills
Vineyards abound grapes ripe and falling
to the ground
The mornings are cool and the clouds lay
low on the top of the hills. They cover
all the Vines with heavenly droplets
When the sun rises all you can see for miles
are deep purple clusters shimmering as
if they were the pot of gold at rainbows end
The rich earth under foot comes alive with
the essence of spiced Carmenere, mushrooms
with a light scent of Ginger
The soil is so soft and inviting like a beautiful
women it beckons you to walk with her
As your walking you notice the many colors
of orange and golden hues that decorate the
Landscape
The old houses are much in the same with the
exception of the doors. You may see burgundy
to bright red, green and even purple to catch
your eye and fill your heart with remembrance
Bread, fresh bread you might smell wafting across
you along with the aroma of freshly ground coffee
so rich you can taste it when you inhale
There is a special time of the season when the
Sun flowers are in bloom. They can be seen as
far as your eyes may travel and are breathtaking
from any view
We are definitely visitors in this most beautiful
city in all the world. I can only stay a short while
because the enchantment of it touches my soul
This is a magical place and I feel that if I visit
for to long it will disappear and be gone to me
forever
As A young women I found myself there
It is the only place in all the world that I feel
welcomed and truly loved
It doesn't judge, it takes you in and you become
a part of all of it. Some time very soon I will return
once more
I want to feel the Sun and see the cloud
shadows fall over the hills in the late afternoon
I want to try to find myself again and perhaps
I will finish what life started for me so very
long ago
The bells call to me from
My home in Tuscany...
