The flutter of my feet They dangle and swirl In purist water, gently. The fountain cascades its tendrils Of perilous romance. It begs a moment Of La Dolce Vita...but I sit and watch The mirage of strands, Coins held heavy in my hand. Away I toss them Wishes not expelled For my granting might Be the death of someone elses. So, let them lie in wait For that unsuspecting passer-by Who needs the comfort more Than a foolish old woman. |

Wishes -are admitting life isn't good enough Dreams -are admitting the things you want are not yet real Both words contain the strife or proof that we want the world to be a better place. -Juju -Juju |

Dear Kat, the coin has granted you the creativity for this very lovely write, I would say. La Dolce Vita is within our reach always, even if only for moments, like the one you lived at this fountain (Trevi?). You have a generous heart and the "foolishness" is another PLUS of your personality. I can relate!  Love, Margherita ps I love the Christmas smilies! |
