The beginning of a poem...

Cro-Magnon caves of half-light, Chauvet and Lascaux, squeezed by wheat into Occitania and the Pyrenees, your Basque home, Moors to the south, Andalusian poetry and song, fountains and gardens, tiles of colored calligraphic design, arabesques flying into the air. Troubadours and Trouveres, song, dance, romance, learning love at long last, Cathar men and women of Light, reincarnate, obliterated by the blood and fire of the Albigensian Crusade. The world does not tolerate beauty well.
