Another day gone,
my eyes are alone
as the ocean engulfs me,
carrying my hope away
to unknown depths of solitude.
I try to see what is not there.
I try to remember if the sea has
always had this indecisive color.
Little has changed: the almond trees
are still sharing their shy shadows.
It is winter and the flamboyant is naked.
The flowers sleep gently:
a thousand seeds are waiting silently.
The islands seem so distant
under the lashes of my eyes.
Gulls soar, boats celebrate life,
fishermen nourish the mystery
of the sea.
I can feel it breathing in me
while my heart devours the fragile
secrets of this landscape, drawing
the endless beauty of this place
deep within the corners of
my mind.
