The Road of the Lords of Rouergue
(c)2012 Bob Atkinson
perhaps it is the romance in us
that looks behind for better stuff
the sights we see are filtered through
our desires for something old that's new
or can we see honor in
the status that has forever been
sewn into the fabric of life
trials and solutions to daily strife
such was the mind-set in my head
as my search for beauty settled on
the Chateau de Belcastel's pretty face
bade me imagine ladies dressed in lace
give me apartments in the castle
an elevator so I can waddle
down to the village for commercial stuff
restaurants, good eating and such
a sidewalk cafe for passing time
with my love, or friends of mine
parking garage buried into
the hill behind so it can't be seen
a theater for live performance
a screen showing some exciting horrors
dangling thoughts of speakers there
so much culture in the air
orchestras playing those pretty tunes
or current bands with their big booms
talented singers or dancing swingers
let the show go on right here
my time is spent pondering this
how much value do I see in it?
not so so much, but it feels good
to know my dreamed of neighborhood
