A Short Break

In a City full of travellers, I decided to stay awhile, This visiting visitor was venturing, The streets were colourfully decorated, crowded and bustling, People were dressed in sparkly costumes, sang and danced, all offering a friendly smile. The eyes were all-conquering, A new language the ears struggled but tuned to listening, The smell from food stalls filled the air, the nose couldn’t help but take a whiff, Fragrant aromas made the mouth and taste buds water, signalling a need to stop and take a taste. Feelings of relief and joy had slowly crept into my soul, In truth, I felt refreshed and energised enough to take an evening stroll, My last Sunset brought a touch of sorrow, For I was leaving at dawn on the morrow. by Zyrool
