Hour 8<\/p>\n

9\/2\/2023<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Olde Towne…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whispers shared and visions<\/p>\n

of wonders… walls and spaces<\/p>\n

adorned, all aglimmer with sight’s worth view.<\/p>\n

Windows leak dreams made real<\/p>\n

and pause-you-in-your-tracks favors<\/p>\n

of times hauntingly past.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Themes of could’ves, would’ves, mights, and<\/p>\n

even wannabes – caress minds and eyes,<\/p>\n

held conscious by themes expressed<\/p>\n

while smiles – leak from inside.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Foods of choice to try palates tastes,<\/p>\n

Galleries reflecting sheens and whims,<\/p>\n

brush strokes holding each visitor’s wish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Art by the block – each a differing view<\/p>\n

of life and its touch – rhyme, reason,<\/p>\n

and depth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve wandered this world.<\/p>\n

Paused, dreamt, and wished<\/p>\n

and returned just to …touch life,<\/p>\n

yet once again.<\/p>\n
