A green gust dancing
amidst the leaves of ferns
In the obscure dawn,
the birds are all restive.
Had we all been
a swarm of unleashed birds
For sure we would have built
a Mediterranean sea

If I were a submarine
I would jump out of the water
Checking to see if other ships
Were doing what they ought-er
Jules Verne would come back
And write lively stories about me
I would be deemed the sheriff
Of the Mediterranean Sea

Long to meditate with you by the Mediterranean sea.
Long to medicate with you until we are filled with glee.
Long to sedate you with my siren singing voice as you just be.

Israel will be free
from Muslim killing sprees
Israel will be free
from screaming leftist banshees
Israel will be free
from antisemitic UN decrees
Israel will be free
from the Jordan River
to the Mediterranean Sea ~
Israel will be free

the Big Island
It is a big island about the size of France, for a long time this island has been asleep so peaceful lemurs jumped along the jungle floor to reach the next tree, before
trophy hunters came together with missionaries and the people looking for gold.
Madagascar was once part of a supercontinent bigger
than Russia, called Gondwana where the inhabitants spoke 4 languages which was needed when traveling
through a landmass that had lakes the size of the Mediterranean Sea.
For a long time, South Gondwana was like Florida a place for the rich and elderly to retire and served by the local population who lived in small huts to not block the sea view of the rich, and the wealthy as usual could not understand why they were hated.
Revolution came, the army had for too long lived on bacon skin and gone obese, spears and swords too heavy
The vast country broke up into many parts that drifted about and settled like we see on the map today
But the dream remains, the dream you can walk naked
among palm trees and not get bitten by snakes

I always did fantasize about our diverse earth;
Its freezing stones in the fridges of the Arctic and Antarctic landscapes.
The idyllic playgrounds on the quiet sands of the Mediterranean Sea banks,
The amazing sun baked plains of the smoothened Sahara brown,
The tropical Haven of humid air, where the golden sun awakes in a fair and bright morning, and sets at even with its magnificent crimson smile.
What a cozy feeling can its temperate climes bring; with its sheer abundance of Clement weather.
A paradise indeed of ambient mildness.
I long for the warm gardens of Eden’s residues, with their ebullient and lush tropical green.
How pleasant it would be to cascade down the many waterfalls in an imaginary and wonderland fashion.
To go atop the zenith of each mountainous heaven from which pinnacle point you have the panoramic view of your own vanquished plains.
I once disappeared into the wind, in a midsummer night’s dream to see my global fantasies come true.
And like a boisterous eagle,
I glided high to the heavens for this global and utterly delightful bird’s eye view.

gray seagulls and dolphins begin jumping and flying around the sea
knowing that soon they will be graced with honor of mysterious she
Sheba appears daily after the clown fish pave the way for her glance.
teensy guppies and turtles are there too, taking an educated chance.
Sheba is the head mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea today.
she listens to conch shells, and she gives the fishes her say.
words of advice they need to stay safe from the sharks and more.
many turtles have swam out here from the far distance shore.

waiter tells us the sea is called Thalassa here
Mediterranean Sea right? She giggles, flirting.
All is terrific until she discovers kleftiko is lamb.

Africa is very rich continent in the World
But many Africans die daily in Mediterranean sea
Sad to see how natural resources are robbing daily,
Evaluating the economy of African countries
None is closer to a poorest European Country
Complicating system which oparates to favour
EU Countries,their partners and wreck Africa.

In middle of Mediterranean Sea
Lies a petrified pirate ship
She froze in place during a fierce battle
Her secrets and treasures locked inside
Wait here.
Treasure map coming soon

goldfish loved the chase
Merchild did too
They swam good and hard
In the waters so blue
goldfish got caught
But slipped away easily
A regular chasing day
in the Mediterranean Sea

On the shores
of the Mediterranean Sea,
at Benalmadena
the Spring is eternal.
When the sun rises,
over the olive grove,
in my soul
I hoped
that I will never
go old...
Years have passed
and now
when the sun rises
over the sea
and over the olive grove,
I enjoy in all my heart
that at Benalmadena
the Spring is eternal...

The world is vast and full of wonders,
Queen, we cannot stay here any longer,
Take my hand and let's run away
Underneath the clouds, my dear.
Dance beneath the moonlight,
Starry beaches full of New sights,
You intrigue me more and more
Everyday you are my cure,
A smile on your face and I'm feeling more.
Lets wash away our past,
In the Mediterranean sea
Just you and me,
Riding the dazzling Mirror Ball,
Let's go on a journey
Along with glittery stars,
New galaxies, New universe,
Leave the old behind,
Create a new life
I am taking to the more glittering place.
So, please put your lovely hand in mine,
And dive in space and float in time,
Our wanderlust hearts,
Needs to run far far away.

***This piece is a vital human question regarding the validity and
authenticity of humanity's existence, experience and significance,
in relation to the perpetual immensity of the universe with
its mystical and confounding qualities***
Fate Of The Spirit
Are sentient organisms through the vast unknown
Simply insignificant evanescent galactic fragments
Adrift in space across faultless and everlasting time
Cradled in the inexorable grasp of an Impalpable Force
Of which within a twinkle of one universal moment could
Condense a consciousness into an extinguished sparkle
Instantaneously driven to oblivion throughout eternity?
Or essences created in a transcendental awakening?
The truth lies upon the immutable fate of the spirit!
