Up over the gardens – v3

Rising on legs renewed,
Soaring on new-found wings,
leaving the ground behind me,
seeing the world differently,
unbound from the earthly coil,
a new vantage point…
 
My vision rising, carried aloft,
Up over the gardens, above
the promenade, the portico,
rising above the stairs, the statues,
up over the castle’s rooftops,
to the sky, the heavens, the heights…
 
Arched doorways, arched windows,
Experiencing the grandeur, royalty,
from a new perspective, our vision
sensing more deeply history, majesty,
gravitas, raw power of another age
captured in this place...
 
Soaring over the lands, the kingdom,
The vineyards and the fertile fields,
long-forgotten tales, the woods,
spread out before me, a vista,
a landscape I long remembered,
out to the horizon line…
