Ruins speak and sing
so frequently and loud in dreams.
Always draped in mists –
a vital element of mysteries.
But visit Rome on any normal day –
you’ll face a different image. Hey,
so many souls and soles
do tread the stones,
it’s fair to ask oneself in sober tone
if those awe-striking ruins are (t)here to stay.
