Monasteries by the Bay

Monasteries by the Bay

A Poem by SyberRose
"

The tranquil life of a monk.

"

In the courtyards and the regions
precious strings of violins doth play;
Tranquil peace of ancient abbeys
and monasteries by the bay.

Surrounded by grape vineyards
and century old stained glass;
Monks chant their prayer rhymes
and recite their morning mass.

Melody of fountains and choir sings
monastery monks, their faith within clings,
Behind walls the bougainvillea climb;
the celibate monks cherish their time.

One of the places on my bucket list, vineyards with the heavy, purple grapes glistening in the sun, sounds of music, monks in their long brown robes... I can see it!
I have to apologize, I was answering your post and accidentally erased it. Not a good start, but I am excited to take part in the Cafe.
