In the courtyards and regions precious strings of violins doth play tranquil peace of ancient abbeys and monasteries by the bay surrounded by grape vineyards and century old stained glass monks chant their prayer rhymes and recite their morning mass melody of fountains and choir sings monastery monks, their faith within clings behind walls the bougainvillaea climb the celibate monks cherish their time Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. |

Victoria, a beautiful and serene poem. "precious strings of violins doth play tranquil peace of ancient abbeys" "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |
