A poem written as a tribute to the wonderful years I spent in Italy.
A soft warm breeze played around my ankles
As my bare feet felt the heat of summer on the well-worn grassy path
The scent of hazy days hung in the air – enticing
I smiled as I came upon you
In the midst of a sea of yellow
Glorious sunflowers whose petals reach out craving attention
I rushed to join you; to dance amongst you
My carefree limbs twirling as the trace of a breeze kissed my face
I stand and marvel, drinking in your scent, savouring every moment
Experiencing this feeling of endless joy and pleasure
Where the beauty of life is omnipresent in this field of entrancing sunflowers
