Show Me A Picture And I’ll Tell You A Story

Of a city of water-ways, bridges and boats.

Of a man with a dream who would become king.

Lend me your ears and I’ll tell you the secrets

Of a ravaged fortress still guarding the land.

Give me your hand and I’ll show you the beauty

Of colours and textures

And sculptures and stones.

Reflections and churches;

Graffiti and ruins.
