(dedicated to Mr. Krystian Zimerman, a great pianist)
a rich ethnographic
a vaulted ceiling
ornate windows
carved glasses
colorful lace
floral patterns
folk embroidery
priceless codices
lyrical and dramatic
narrative qualities
contemplative
elegiaque
white stones
wooden benches
decorated frescoes
an exquisite mansion
a chateau in your heart
soaring longing voice
conquer the anger
no more sadness
a love come true
hillside vineyards
melodious memories
excellent wines for lovers
(inspired by Pierre-Auguste Renoir's In the Garden)
