a poem by
Jodie Hedrick...
I
love Venice…I
love the way the dappled sunlight shines through its elegant, crumbling walls and
falls upon its graceful waters like bright, flowing ribbons.
I
love its quiet, narrow alleys that always seem to whisper the stories of
thousands of years of lovers and dreamers.
I love its many moods…the way the light always
changes revealing something beautiful.
I
love the way my footsteps quietly echo through the darkness.
I
love the way it fills me up and restores my soul.
I
love this exquisite jewel that is like no other.
Venice…you
have cast your spell on me.
