All of their tomorrow's
Are now our yesterdays
Portrayed in gentle windows
In passionate displays

Life it seems so perfect
Like gentle waves that fell
Upon their souls with canvas
In stories they now tell

Child is filled with wonder
As bird feeds near the ground
Pointing to this splendor
That makes it all spellbound

Moments of this pleasure
Captured by the light
As artist saw the glory
Within this canvas bright

Morning so delightful
It never goes away
Masterpiece forever
The artist has portrayed

So it brings a glowing
That comes in golden scene
Each brush stoke of this master
Has captured life serene.

VENICE


My Holiday in Venice 2002

I travelled to Venice
with my friend Joan
It was the most exciting
holiday so far.

Very different, a magical, fairytale place!

In Venice light and water combine
to create a restless magic.
All borderlines are eradicated
some where between dream and reality,
present and past,
the ethereal nature of this town
has fascinated many
famous people.

"The Grand Canal,
the most beautiful thoroughfare
in the world that I know of,
has the best houses along it,
and runs from one end of the city to the other."

Quote from
Philippe de Commynes

"And at night they sang in the gondolas,
and in the barche with lanterns;
the prows rose silver on silver,
taking light in the darkness."

Ezra Pound


The Bridge of Sighs
The Bridge of Sighs received its name in the 17th century, because the prisoners who passed through it on their way to the prison cells on the other side would most likely see the beautiful sight of the lagoon and the island of S.Giorgio and freedom for the last time.
