A dream come true
As I sauntered along the 'La ramblas'
Heard the "three Musicians " play.
'Asleep' was 'the blue' melancholy
Painting 'the dream' by the day.
I cast my eye to the right of the street
And stood there to get a view
'Casa Battlo' said the name
Where straight lines were scanty and few.
'Art Nouveau 'personified ,spoke through the oval windows
Flowing sculpted stone with astonishing tracery.
Looked so magical and astounding. .
A true confluence of engineering and artistry.
My journey continued to Sagrada familia Passion,glory and nativity standing erect and tall.
Gigantic tall columns, narrow spiral staircases and self lighting altar.
Neatly carved walls and not a sign of a scrawl.
Bald calcareous rocks wrapped in luscious greenery.
That's Montserrat Monastery for you.
"A pearl set in emeralds," ...Alhambra Palace .
Decorated with arabesque art and plain lines very few.
I opened my eyes and was mesmerised by what I could see.
Cyan sky meeting the azul ocean
Orange sunset with a touch of red.
It was a dream come true and not a notion
It was a dream come true and not a notion.....
