Elle

She is, 

                                                          The reddish moon at the sun set; 
                      

                       Far, behind the horizon, 
                                                 Warm and tender,

                                                             With a heavy sleeping eyes and
                                                     The awakenings glance.

She is, 


                                      The soft timid poem
The drunken beauty
                                                                Of the fog,
                  
         
                                                The caring sparking fire 
 
                                        Calming down the notorious beast.
 
                 She is, 
                        The thunder,
                             The miracle rain, and
                                 The green land merging
                                           From ice fissures.

                                                                                     She is, 
                                                                           
                                                           The profound seas,

                                                                       The soft water
ocean, and
The promising desert,


                                                          She is, 

                                                                     The language,

                                                      The zillions future names, and
                     The universe thousand secretes



She is, 

                                                            The woman

                                                I adore, 
                                                I worship, 

                      And I protect, 


                                                  She is my temple and my shelter.
