Beautiful angels, here I am
One of you has my name
Wrapped in ashen parchment
Peacefully put in a frame
lungs unable to breath,
body floating with a wreath
death in a beautiful seaside
soul already in paradise
boats carry me far,
my beloved is north star
and she is waiting
Here is my humble effort to capture the intense beauty and sheer gorgeousness of city of wonders – Venice
Perspectives on Life, the Universe and Everything 
I only spent one day in Venice, a quite rainy April day, when I was 14, and I have never forgotten it. Thank you for reminding me of a place that still haunts me, as it does so many others.

No, beautiful memories, haunts me because I have never been back, I was there with my father, the first time I had been anywhere abroad. My husband was working on merchant ships and when he was only 15, and the ship had to dock in Venice for repairs. He had three weeks wandering round the place. It said it changed the way he looked at the world.

Venice, actually the whole area of Northern Italy is breathtakingly beautiful, even if I think it falls behind in comparison with Verona. It has been a long time, since I have been there though, time to take a trip back, I guess. Beautiful post!
