Blue Skies in Tuscany

Blue skies in Tuscany,
Distant curving hills,
Cypresses and olive groves...
And flower-strewn rills.
Villas...and oak trees,
Old and evergreen,
Swallowtails that dance the hours;
Small lizards rarely seen.
Lilac and yellow broom...
A splash of brightest hue;
Large, dark metallic bees
That visit swift and true.
Hot Sun...and strong scents;
The grasshopper that rasps its joy...
Amidst the lilting grasses...
That beckon and alloy.
A scene indeed so tranquil,
As if it were but dreams;
Here where the senses mingle...
To prove all is what it seems
