Mori (TN)
here in Padua
morning sounds reverberate
with my heartbeat
preparing to return home
a gull passes overhead
saying adieu
the sun rises in the fog
coffee pot bubbles
persimmon tree full of birds
just Brynn and I watch them
like the Silk Road
beckoning to the traveller
it’s time to leave
returning home from the east
the mountains call to me

Made me think of Shakespeare from the first line. And Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road collection. Lovely, start to finish.

Cool … what an idea! I’ve never heard of Yo-Yo Ma … much google to find out who he is!

He’s a wonderful cellist and my cello-playing son’s hero.

On to the shelter of the mountains … after some initial hesitation, some peace. Travel imagery is great here 🙂

Thanks Paloma … you cannot imagine how my heart soared when I saw the mountains in the sunshine once the trained passed under the tunnel that separates the Padana Valley from Trentino.

Oh, I can … I can … there’s a lot of comfort in the (smallish) mountains in my own neck of the woods. I was never so glad to see them as when returning from a (difficult) visit to (a very flat part of) Texas once. A sense of comfort!
Glad you’re back 🙂
