When I Live From Here

When leaving from here,
          I will donate to the world
          my poetry...
          In it will find my fulcrum...
          You will read the joy I experienced
          sharing spaces with the stars
          with whom I dialogued frequently,
          will notice upon the spontaneous nights
          of soirees under the moon...
         From confessions and lessons learned
         from the sea with its memory of elephant...
         They will realize the delicacy of flowers
         that adorned and perfumed my life...
         When I leave, I can miss you all,
          but I will leave satisfied...!
