Notes About The Poem

(my photo)

- a Swan -

You sail in the wind
                                along the edge of the globe
                                The sea with white rippled waves
                                The sun shines through the sails
                                which is raining down from a rich universe
                                Driving wind,
                                salty lips,
                                golden wings
                                on cotton clouds
                                The longing,
                                the strength,
                                wide and blue
                                The moon and the tide,
                                eternal renewal
                                Joy and wonder,
                                has no end
