A comforting breeze through my hair; Crests and troughs of dancing waves, Sparkling rays bidding sweet adieu To the ever-flamboyant waters. Hand in hand, We leave footprints in the sand.
Take me to the mountains , Where the wind is chilly But the people are warm; The steps are rocky And the hills stay still. Where the bakeries feel like home, And the river travels across; Where all is calm And I feel next to the divine .
Long walks with lampposts Upslope and downhill. Friendly faces with umbrella heads along the way with Colorful scented candle shops. Open courtyard with eateries and trinkets, Wooden Cafes and scrumptious tibetan food, Rustic music playing along the lakeside. Slicing Fresh creamy and fluffy cakes And pouring warm simmering tea. Tranquil and deep waters ...
Orange hues of the horizon The sure steps of the camels in the sand Walking their way through A vast expanse of the desert. A soothing lake in the middle Surrounded by beautiful arches . A gift from a generous king Bringing relief to his people . Carved and interlocked sandstones Inviting and open courtyards ; Sprinting fountains in the centre Flowing through the sands of time . Glittering and colorful work of artisans on the streets Puppets and umbrellas guiding your way up To a view of the golden city . Tales of valour and strength Flowing across generations inside a living fort. Gushes of pride and honor In every resident till date .
Moons and stars Domes and palaces . Streets gleaming with colors Under the shade of Umberellas . Kittens around every corner Looking to snuggle and kibble Bazaars glittering with lamps Ceramics chanting the work of artisans Sunset with orange and pink hues over the Bosphorus A delightful panorama from the galata tower Kebabs with chai And ancient stories to tell . The city has a lot to offer On a ride on the magical carpet.
It's a summer evening The streets are gleaming with lamps people are strolling around the square There is hustle bustle in the eateries and shops around The children are skating around the streets A wedding bell sounds at the church A women comes to offer her prayers A juggling artist mesmerizes his crowd A clock ticks 12 o clock The crowd slowly dismisses from the stage And the curtain is drawn for the next act The fountain keeps flowing like an endless potion
It comes washing down the mountains Pearl drops from the sky The smell of wet clay And fresh brewing coffee. When you are under the shadow of clouds, The comfort of the rains Gives you hope for a better tomorrow
