Briefly,
Intriguingly.
A quick glimpse
and it disappears
around another sharp turn
in the twisting road.
Proud. Old.
Ample space
under heavy tiled roofs.
Built for many lifetimes.
For many lives to pass thru.
To build more.
To nurture the growth
in fields and vineyards
and olive groves
spilling down
the terraced hillsides.
But briefly.
Briefly.
A glimpse in time
of a scene.
Of but a glimpse
of a fleeting moment
in time.
Around another curve
in the twisting road
of life.
Briefly glimpsed.
Briefly known.
Briefly felt.
Briefly.
