Visitors of the Sun

Our thoughts, like the sea with its white pebbles,
painted by its foam.
The waves come little by little, to halt them.
There, I see Greece.

Beneath the clouds that hide the sun,
its furrows moving back and forth like visitors.
They were forgotten on a pale islet at the horizon, where the gaze can reach.

In a small glass of red wine and a slice of bread,
behind the cornfields.
There, I see Greece.

In my grandparents’ house I left my memories in the yard,
in the scent of Sunday lunch.

You must be new to this site. I welcome you. I thank you for reviewing my poem which has disappointed me by not receiving more reviews and comments. I was just watching "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" before I read your submission. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
