Mesmerized in Trichiana, Italy

Mesmerized beauty
Succumbed by the hand of nature
Amongst the lush of Earths foliage moist
Colors born to flowers
Frost bows to warmth

The vocal fight of birds and roosters
Unsynchronized harmony
For their presence of center stage

My ears now as full
As my eyes

Church steeple peeks its head
Through the low lying dwells of the village
Commanding my attention to shift
As now it speaks

Mesmerized beauty halts

Mournfully chiming 83 strokes for the villager
That today, no longer
In attendance of nature’s display

The birds sing louder
The roosters roar
Bringing the sun through the rain
Perhaps for him,
The villager past
To lift his soul higher for the travel
Home

The life of Trichiana
Both Sorrowful and sweet

Mesmerized again

Oh this is lovely in its mournful way. Love the chiming of 83 strokes–and the phrase “colors born to flowers”. Wonderful.

  I loved Italy. I roamed her three times when I was station in Germany. Florence was my city. A very good time. I had many good friends from Basel.Basel, Switzerland is my favorite place.

  I have a collection of photos from old Basel from 1977-1980. Nicest people I have ever met. I was adopted by three girls from Basel I met on the hover craft going to Dover, England from France..
