Gaudi: Dream Shaper

The very first glance took my breath away

Turning hungry night into thirsty day

With explosions of riotous colour

And swirling ideas like no other

With stone and glass curving

And wood fronds unfurling

On rooftops with teardrops

And courtyards with light-shards

You crashed in waves on my empty shore

And shook the caves of my hollow core

 

You stir the memory of ancient trees

And rouse the longing for restless seas

You bend and refract

My courage to act

To sculpt and create

My fusions of fate

You round my sharp edges

And speak my soul’s pledges

To fill my life’s ocean

With colour and motion

 

Your great gleaming spires

Hang suspended like wires

Between heaven and earth

Between magic and mirth

They echo creation

And spark revelation

To break with convention

And live with intention

To be builder and breaker

To become a dream-shaper
