Paradise

July 7, 2023July 7, 2023 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

When I touch the sea I touch heaven 

When I catch sight of the sea

through the reeds or the trees 

I know I exist 

and continue 

But when I touch the sea I touch heaven 

Acquaviva September 2019

longer

each breath longer

than the breath before

the sea rises

rises

and falls

fresh water springs split

white rock fissures

swirling sparkling arrows

sharp ice pale blades

splinter velvet salt

silence falls

azure enchantment

eyes open wide

the paradise is sea
