Lake Como

Azure skies,
Fragrant flowers,
A gentle breeze,
Mountains and the lake,
Beautiful and oh so perfect,
A dream come through
In that little cafe
By the water,
A glass of wine
And nothing to bother me,
A moment of absolute happiness,
A picture and a feeling
Engraved in my mind,
A remembrance to take back
To those cold and rainy days
When life is bleak
And hopes diminish...
