Renaissance

I love those places where signal strength is low,

Where phones don't work and you are truly alone.

I love those (places) the most where the arches speak,

Domes speak of stories long forgotten in History.

In them, I see His stories, the past that I seek.

Once Upon A Time, I had this feeling.

I chanced upon the perfect place

Dreams came true there, so strongly I felt!

The water of an unnamed Lake met the gentle breeze.

The white stoned Domes, standing in silence,

For a few centuries.

A silence full of noises, of a past that haunts.

There was also a lamp flickering, fighting the wind.

A plaque, attributed to a Braveheart and his kin.

There I was, sitting on the marble, staring at Him;

What remains of Him perhaps, a name, fame, ashes and memories

Immortal deeds, innumerable stories, waiting to be told.

The silence there spoke, more than anyone else ever did.

They say people are granted a new life,

With every life-altering moment.

Do you know, 

They sometimes meet themselves as well,

In these rare moments?

Disconnecting myself from the world around me,

This was my Renaissance.
