Shiraz

Beautiful

Majestic

Home of Hafez

Pools of water echoing

Off the bark of dense trees

I hear poets on the streets

Reciting versus from deep within

Fermented grapes fuels them

Smiling eyes roving

Unique scented flowers

Fill the crisp air

Valley of the Garden

Solar power fields

Cultural mix mash 

On top of the world

The sun feels different

Enriched with history

Even a pebble has a story

Beautiful

Majestic

I stand beyond time

In a place without markers

Smiling faces everywhere you turn

Surely, the Angels live here
