In one ray of light a dust particle sparkles in flight.
I ride on it.
In the gondolier's melody my name is sung.
I cling to a building as a speck of
cardinal red paint,
then am a thread freed from an awning
of bright aquamarine
floating in heady air
into this canal of dreams

I can't think of a better city to have such a gentle colorful dream about!
Reading your poem was like seeing Venice through Canaletto's eyes :)

My goodness, what an interesting poem — from colour to colour and form to form.
Your work just gets better and better!
Blessings and Bear hugs!
lovely imagery. I was in Venice once when I was only 15- it still shimmers in my memory bank.
