Neighbour


Country of beauty, spirit of love
Saviour of souls
All language of life exposed

Cafe and city, caress in belief
Entwined in emotion
Truth through philosophical thought

Flags flown with passion, reflections of rosary
Blossom of blue
A lightning white silk, bold with sensuality

Builders of the monumental, joyous in contemplation
Serene and explosive
All character to taste of style evoked

Arch of triumph, pyramid of translucence
Champion’s causeway
Quest of meaning, statement of ought
