The girls talk about love under an honest tree <br />The girls smile as they run through the grass and weeds <br />The girls move through the marketplace and through the fair <br />As we stand in the distance <br />Taking in the scenery <br /> <br />We're alive and well in Tuscany <br />In good health, and in real love <br />Loving what we see in this country <br /> <br />The architecture feeds into our memories <br />Leaving in our minds a fantasy <br />As night comes <br />The calling is clear for the symphony <br /> <br />We're alive and well in Tuscany <br />Everything's alive and well in Tuscany <br />It might be us alone <br />As we walk these streets <br />But someone left a light for us <br />As we press on in Tuscany<br /><br />Justin Gildow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alive-and-well-in-tuscany/
