and see a light blue lake,
shining shades of light blue colours,
with the sun on it.
They would feel much better
because they saw the light blue colour
that gives hope and life.
There, before you,
you see your childhood years in the sea,
fishing, rides in the boat                              and all those children.
You see the same sea
where you were born,                                 even here wetting your legs,
reminding you of the old days.
And this is enough to make you
not feel so far away.

And the sun is the same
only that here it burns more
and gives sharp shapes                                 to leaves on the trees
and the children who are born here are darkerthan those children.

Nothing is exactly the same
but everything looks alike.
They all remind of that freedom from care,
the one we had under the sun
while we were young children,
during the summers.

I wonder if I have stolen years
since I�ve been on this side
the clouds say yes
and the sun no,
and you look further still,
and you realise
how similar are the glances
of people when they look afar.
And the sun, astonished                                 is getting ready to leave,
giving his last directions to the clouds.
Oh no. This is not happening
on the other side.
There the clouds are waiting  for               him  to leave , so the raving can start.
Here there is no entertainment this hour,
here they fill the empty spaces with lines,
celebration of memories.

How many oceans really
must we set up in front of us
while watching them seeing only one.
This one where                                          when people swimming collide,
there where there are no frontiers,
because there is no land                                to thrust the posts in
and no money to thrust them in.

And the ocean, here in front,
as if he heard that , calmed down,
became serene, a carpet to step on.
How often has he been like a lake
with all people romantically
observing the sunset,
making only dreams.

Now you can see straight
to the other end of the world,               (cont.)

The ocean

You look far away
and you know you are
at the end of the world,
for your gaze can go no further.

There, in front, is seen only
the end of the ocean.

There, where the earth curves and fades,
and comes the sky
with it�s clouds in shapes of dreams
and speaks to you in another language,
which you may translate as you wish

You look far
you see waves hugging the legs of clouds.
Colours playing chase,
air and water becoming one.

You look far away
and you feel you are at the end of the world
though this end is not far.
