The Tower RebuiltI shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,

Amidst the folds of a foreign
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;

Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in

A View From a WindowAs dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,

Tavira, Algarve, My Home TownTavira
Tavira is my town
The place I call my home
