- Air -
~ Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air. ~
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
The melody of the air plays in our hearts
sailing on the high seas
Sailors stories from a bygone era
In lapping ripples
to the raging waves of the harbor wind
When the wind is strong,
the light turns white
Oh, you blessed air on your sightless wing
As a cry capable of proclaiming itself
lethal injections
When air is slowly dying
of toxic particles in polluted air
Highlights an urgent situation
minute by minute
The lost sunshine
without sparks,
scratches and wounds
Cannot be restored
The disaster is complete
synonymous with death
The air is as kisses
you didn't realize you longed for
