Midnight in Venice

After mid night, at Venice river bank

The morning dew greets me

And whispers …. Will you take the journey?

After spending the quarter of the evening,

Puzzling with old life and memory

Recalling moments of sorrow and joy

The morning dew whispers ….

Will you take the journey?

***

With my guardian angel I took the journey on a Gondala

Down the river with the song of the ripples

With the chirps of the night angels

Arrived in the garden of the past

Still the same as I left it a decade ago

Starring at the dome of the old Cathedral, still there as it was

Peeping at the old monastery

And greet me to be in as I was in it decade ago

***

My guardian angel and the Gondala

Took me a bit to the south of Venice

Passing the old prison where I used to do my Sunday visit

Passing the coffee shops where I use to stop by after the night shift

Passing the red bridge where I used to hang around

It was such a journey

Even short but bring me lots of memory

Thanks for coming along on my Gondala

Travelling back to my old days.
