I'Ve Seen -For New Blood Contest
I’ve seen life from a lighthouse,
a tower on a rock between the sea and the sky;
I’ve seen the heavy waves of a stormy day,
dolphins, sharks and whales;
I’ve seen the beauty dance of the flimsy jellyfish
through the calm water of a blue abyss;
I’ve seen clear or dark clouds, bright or grave
undisputed masters of the air;
I’ve seen the slowly flight of the albatross,
lonely, huge and tireless;
I’ve seen flocks of migratory birds
from South to North, from North to South;
I’ve seen distant smokes, sails, lights
afar, afar, afar from me for fear;
I’ve seen the speedy seasons and the very long ones
passing by and coming back again.
I’ve seen life,
life from a lighthouse.
