Sagrada Familia

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / tagged Architecture, Beauty, Church, Spain / October 25, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

It took Antoni Gaudi to see
that if a tree can be a cathedral
a cathedral can also be a tree

That is still stands is proof
that the branches from its trunks
can hold the canopy of the roof

It is trite and true to say
that Gaudi build poetry

and I'd love to build a poem
where one could come and sit

as softly on a hardwood pew
in a place so radiant lit

Looking Down on Cruise Ships

Audio Recordings, Travel / tagged Classic Literature, Crowds, Mediterranean, Odyssey, Spain / July 2, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Wide-windowed morning view
from the seventeenth floor of the W
moored on a peninsula off Barcelona

Below and to the right cruise ships five
each disgorging fifty times the number that peopled the prairie town of my youth
(and that sometimes seemed too many)

Ahead and to the east as far as eye can see
stretches Homer's wine-dark sea
where still sails the Argo and on deck - me

Bliss

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth, Travel / tagged Spain / February 23, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Waters of the Mediterranean
embryonic sac of civilizations

Happy is he
with his back to this sea
everything in it pushes him forward

Author in Barcelona, not far from where Columbus sailed East to go West
