...In this charming retreat,
the silence of nature and hills talk to me,
whispers of forgotten tales in the breeze,
of hidden secrets of times bygone,
an era of luxury and grandeur,

played a rhapsody of serenity and peace.

where redbreasts croon in mournful tunes—
The lake of God.
Then it might ...

somewhere in the apex of my lungs
or energy is girdled in my rib cage,
refusing to resonate with the beats of my heart,
there is something wrong
