                                The Rotunda

                                In a bucolic rotunda
We admired the distant mountains crowded with pines,
           Dark-green spots, minuscule figures
  In the fine silver thread between God and humanity.
                           In a solitary rotunda
                         We talked, we laughed,
          Soft, loving echoes tapped the ancient wood
                                   We dreamed
                      One dream, the same dream.
                    The rustic bench we were sitting on
     Would be covered with a mantle of spring flowers
                                                  After our company.
             Creepers would climb the idyllic gallery
           As our mellow presence cured its nostalgia.
                        The sun so warm, rewarding,
                    Irradiated auras of something pure.
       I leaned my head on your shoulder, the eyes closed
 Your voice filled with peaceful notes the quiet morning
                      I need the Beauty', I whispered
Words from the heart carrying desires for unknown bliss
 Inside, you wanted and longed for that rare plenitude
                       There are tracks in the snow
                                 Precise and neat
     We walk hand by hand along imaginary paths
          White paths towards rotunda universes
   Constellations of pristine Beauty grow in our souls
