***** Nocturnal silence is suddenly awakened by brilliant gold of an Italian sunrise and the vibrant emerald green of the cliffs of Ravello. The darkness transitions into the crystalline silver of rushing waters in English woods. These rich hues ultimately yield to a soft, luminous glow, symbolizing the supreme comfort and internal peace found in the thought of a loved one.
When I think of you, I am at rest.
My thoughts seek you like waves that seek the shore.
Lover of beauty, brightest and best,
When I think of you, I am at rest.
