The Past and the Future

In Pezenas town where past and future meet
Narrow cobbled streets feel the rhythm of many feet
Cream coloured stone shines in France’s soft light
And wrought iron balconies are high above us


Modern shops hid in the old town’s embrace
Their windows sparkle and trace
The past alongside today’s bright face
Where the past and now share space


On Saturday’s a market, so vibrant and grand
Goods made by a skilled hand
Stalls that brim with fruit, vegetables and sweet syrups
A colourful tapestry for all to see


Musicians play under a starry sky
Full of melodies that weave together as the night passes by
People gather with hearts light and free
Dancing and laughing in this wonderful French town


Window shutters that close softly as night turns to day
And dreams of an old town get gently tucked away
Yet in every corner of Pezensa history and future unite
In a beautiful town that just delights.
