Look,

How she dances,

by the shore, on the sand,.

a Nereid.

Ethereal,

she mingles with the ocean mist

And,

Flowers,

radiant as jewels,

glimmering with the brilliance of

extraordinary butterflies.

Golden grasses

bow and crack beneath

my feet,

whispering secrets of sun

and silence.

And the celadon sea stirs

dreams of azure,

a wrinkled blue,

whispered into being by the grey wind.

My stole comes alive in the breeze;

But of course she soars

Light as she is!

Wreathed in wind,

 

She carries scents – salty with sea spray,

sweet like honey,

and rich with star anise and spice.

 

It makes me smile!

I descended,

to the southern shores.

Goodbye, mournful Zephyr,

I shall now know,

the warm and gentle,

Sirocco!

I find there,

wild herbs,

tender strands of this earth.

And,

Woven, I wear them.

Oranges,

Round and sweet,

like the sun!

I adorn myself with them too

And other fruits,

exotic and colorful,

whose names I don’t even know.

Here, even the night is gentle,

painted with a sparkle,

silvered by the moon,

and golden with stars.

But I do not forget,

our rocks,

pretty cut edges,

still mossed by the rains.

Blue stone,

that carries,

the freshness of the sea,

And the pebble,

that has captured the warmth,

of the sun.

And sometimes, lifting

these stones,

as we rise,

we glimpse,

that it writes

the memories of color

But rest assured,
I will return,

See you soon!
