It’s in the air

“In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness.”  –  Stephen King

 

“The scent of wine, oh how much more agreeable, laughing, praying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil!”   –  Francois Rabelais

It’s in the air

Les pins

Sentinels

Watching over

Mon village

Old enough

To know all

Our secrets

Wise enough

To keep them

Le vent

Scatters leaves

Blending

Avec lavande

Romaire et

Autre fleures de saison

Intoxicating fragrance

New wine

Unique the perfume

Permeates

Les corbières

Lingers in my

Clothing

Scents my bedding

And my dreams

*

Bisous,

Léa

Old enough to know all the secrets and wise enough to keep them….love this…oh i bet these old towns could fill books and books and books with what they’ve seen and witnessed… love the fragrance of new wine.. the part of germany where i live is a wine growing region as well… and the scent of wine is always a bit magical for me… wishing you happy and peaceful holidays…
