Music To My Ears - A Cento
In this magical village, I walk briskly in October’s chill, but the tune I hear is adagio,
My footsteps morph from clomp to skip,
As shadows lengthen outside;
I imagine what could be accomplished in this world,
It cast a long, untiring spell on me,
By a power I still can’t comprehend,
I put down the mirror
Pretty in red, I climb into the folds of bed.
