My steps
are a mere whisper
on these narrow streets
cobbled with ruined stones
Sounds of the past
reverberate
above the silent cannons & flags
of Citadelle of Quebec
in time with
changing of the guards
in bright red coats
Here is the city
site of battles
& different civilization
over 100 years ago
preserved like an old postcard
Standing on Dufferin Terrace
I marvel at the
lush gardens
European architecture of towers,
charm of old doors & window arches,
quaint lodgings & cozy restaurants
The gem of all
is to view
the majestic
Chateau Frontenac
overlooking Lawrence river is
to behold a gigantic palace in sky
I am a child
awed
listening to history
unraveling & retracing-
so I may
know the bosom of my
new motherland
Quebec City
Posted for D'verse Poets Pub - Adventures in Travelling - I have been to this city twice, and I highly recommend it. Thanks for the visit ~
