Nette Onclaud Poet Rispetto

My Prague

As I watch this radiant space
Beyond cloud’s torch, prayers retrace 
Where the ledges of Prague’s border 
Adorns steeples touching moonlight.

In Lesser Town of holy rites,
Infant Child stands like gleam so fair
As I watch this radiant space
Beyond cloud's torch, prayers retrace 

A chorale drifts in soft procession
Jesus’ feasts blaze with devotion
Where the ledges from Prague’s  border, 
Infant Child stands like gleam so fair.

As I watch this radiant space
Beyond cloud's torch, prayers retrace.



 *Lesser Town: place in Prague, Czechoslovakia
 where the famous statue of  Infant Jesus is enshrined.
 Thousands of pilgrims join a parade to honor and show
RESPECT  for this Child.

Carly Lalion October 14, 2014 at 8:19 AM This is so---human. And yet so divinely conveyed. Your images project the beauty of place which has a spiritual aura because the Infant Child resides there. I find this to be impeccable--

Paul Callus October 12, 2014 at 3:16 PM This is beautiful, Nette, even more when I recall my visit there about twelve years ago. Prague is one of the loveliest cities that I have seen and I have lovely memories of its attractive architecture, river, etc. // paul
