alsace

walking along the cobbled paths
of an Alsatian hamlet
i ponder a mural
on the wall of the old bakery
painted by a lonely artisan
who had once courted his lost love
alongside the Medina
as she teased him with wine and grapes.
he painted a broad picture
of the old country
with flowing fields of hops
and barley for the local brewery
that distilled the signature amber.
the rustic town spire
still stretched to meet the heavens
whilst the cracked bell
left it silently wise.
dirt cart paths winded their way
between the antiquated chalet's
and the goat herds
that tended themselves.
and meadowlarks sang with full hearts
to any fencepost that attended
or a mate who could hear
his calls for her wing-spread sunshine.
tranquilness of a faded time
gave life to a soul
and the tip of a fresh paintbrush.
