Springtime in Verona

Primavera a Veròna con te,
Vicolo vibrante… through this Roman yore,
We stroll, arm in arm, amid youthful play,
Through colors and life, to a place you adore,

O’er Adige, San Pietro looks on,
‘Yond, through a gate, secret gardens await,
Where lovers may loll and dream on green lawn,
‘Tween kiss and caress, ‘tis life we’ll create,

Full of laughter and tears, hope, and some fears,
But ne’er insincere, for in bond we are strong,
Through storms that may rage in these coming years,
If fierce rain befalls to silence birds’ song,

We’ll run to the Promise of shelter above,
‘Neath nearby church cloister... ensconced in His Love.

Lovely! I’ve travelled to Italy twice, but regrettably, I never made it to Verona. This sonnet made me determined to go next time. Beautiful...it made me feel as if I was strolling hand-in-hand with one I can’t live without.
