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
