Dreamin

…Tonight I dream, memories of Roma

I see the city alive with people walking along the avenue with smiles on their faces.  The streetlights illuminate the age-old buildings giving them an unearthly glow.

I smell the scent of cooking.  Italian treats, garlic, basil and fruity wine fill my senses with longing. I sit at a table in an open-air café, candles aglow, I mingle, I laugh.

I hear the sounds that are only of Italy.  Voices speak the language, insruments play the music …romantic, authentic, rhythmic.  In the background the sound of nearby fountains grace the air.

In my dream I am there once again, sharing a gelato, a cappuccino, a view with a friend.

I awake from this dream refreshed and nostalgic for this place I amore…Roma…
