Daphni

I walked on ancient ruins and marbled steps so steep

I heard the sounds of history, the walls began to weep.

I stared into the soul of stone, as pillars kissed the sky,

The sun ablaze forbade my thoughts, my soul began to fly.

The fragrance of what came before consumed me through and through,

Incense and lavender mingled with the morning dew.

Fifteen hundred years gone by yet walls and angels speak

They whispered in cascading light and in the tongues of Greeks.

A walk through hallowed grounds can raise your energy profound

Behold the ways of ancients, Sunday morning coming down.
