Images of Italy

Wandering on timeworn cobbled streets, seeking the mysteries of medieval places revered through the passing of time and antiquities graces; A labyrinth of undulating faded frescoed walls, cloistered shrines with secrets to tell, sprawling palaces, monuments in memoriam and the cathedrals towering centurion bell; Rugged mountains glazed in a crown of luminous snow ascend over beaches, kissed by the sapphire sea that ebbs and flows below. Spiraling roadways lead to fortified cities, emerging from phantom clouds, hovering over orchards and groves, the fruits of the earth, dangling from lofty boughs January 7, 2017

Pauletta, Enjoyed reading your poem on Italy. I spent 6 months there in 1986-87. Hence I could feel your words very well.
