Far From Home

I drool over
to come and see,
those lovely places around
truly,  a sight to behold.

Artifacts from Spanish times
magnificent churches,
buildings and a tad of ruins
have significance to perceive.

Clematis dripping from walls
cascades of flowers
green trees elsewhere
give delight to everyone.

A triumph of hope
awaits the locals
as a hybrid nation
a birthplace of faith.

One day it happens
doused by rains
swathed in fog
yet it holds a promise of joy.

A trek through the mountain
lo and behold!
Zipaquirá, its name
what an amazing place!

Good recounts with examples
in a language so rich
made as the ancients said
Truth and beauty go together.

The experience and interest
speak volumes about history,
pride and dignity,
amongst the people of Colombia.
