Oscans, Ligures and the Apuli as known
Ancient Greek, Samnitics, Sicanis and Celt
Indigenous tribes, one people with love grown
Capodanno Fiorentino o'er lands dwelt
Wine appellation of Sangiovese as shown
Wreaths and lanterns over folklores shine not welt
Carrara marbles as buttress of stronghold
With arts and culture, graced with norms of the bold

I was thinking of the soul
that mysterious un-proven source of being.
Thoughts came to me of a mystical place
where-in the mossy ground of a sacred forest,
a portal existed, below the quadrivail
of four ancient rivers.
a cave deeply etched by many ages-
the periscopic carving of rushing waters
into a clear, deep pool of
the most, unbelievable blue.
Precious, orange zircons formed the floor
ligures for holy men’s robes
a resevoir of more than nature's beauty
an enigma, a place of secret rites and truths
knowable, only by divine revelations.
And when the vision faded peace flowed through my thoughts-
a truth from ages past and a faith that was positive
in time and space.
