Song of Spain

We rambled along stones

through plazas and alleyways

Cadaques from Barcelona

in a rented car

winding heights and

stone-templed olive trees

jeweled lights on the sea

We lit candles and pressed our toes in the sand

Chasing a ghost

We'd only heard of

in melting clocks

and seen in

kaleidoscopic memories

drinking champagne

beneath his easel

great window to unreality

soft sunlight on the sea

All the world ours, my love…

Shells and stones and poems scattered

We spent the night in a house of dreams

Laughing at madness up marble stairs

wine cooling our buttery throats

the breath of the sea

aglow in the story of time

As we welcomed the stars

Over the church bells

Our past, present, future

recasting itself

before our very souls

All the world ours, my love...
