Let’s admit it and get it out in the open That happiness is overrated, over emphasized And hyped to the detriment Of basic sanity and balance. But the bottom line Is that freedom is what we really need And what when we get Makes happiness a pleasant impermanence. (8/3/25) ...

In vanity
In vanity, we inquire into the empty heavens  And witness only birds hunting In vanity, we dive into the sea and the earth  And discover just bones rotting In vanity, we read the writings of the learned And find their footsteps decaying Within you, behind all the clothing of words Look, and behold the eternal tree of knowledge Whose fruits are mankind's untainted ideas  And...

THE SEA AND I
First of all, I must say that I love the sea so much in the past, I dared to repeat words from the poet Areias, "Sea, my ground" RETURN If the sea deigns so much to lose a little water to wash my feet... I reciprocate, filling it back with my tears...! I know the sea's salt, so many shipwrecked ships... I know the sea's distance so...
