There is an error in the bio - I was born in a refugee camp in Germany to Czech parents.

I do not have a Czech version of this as yet although I have been asked to write one. 

Mother of Cities

Unseen home

Tugged at my

Heart for years

Shadows of Prague 

Haunting my

Soul long before

Pre-ordained

First encounter

Powerful

Emanation

Of beauty

Even though clothed

In cloak of

Intentional

Oppressive

Decrepitude

Overdue

Restoration

Re-polished

Jewel of light

Refracting

Prism of love

Touching all

Whose paths cross hers

 Praha – matka měst!
