The sun reflected, embraced,
dear to all waves
looks down from above,
tells the sea
they will meet one day
today,
when sunset twilight and fiery delight
unite them once again
in rainbows of belonging
and trusted melodies
of faith
that go back centuries.
***
If you keep wondering
how a smile started,
when was the first time
that it came alive and broke free
from darkness and the gray,
know it was water, the sea
the many waves chasing the sun
and the rays meeting blue
that brought a smile to life
to stay
and make us joyful.
***
The sun’s own happiness
stays close to foam and waves,
it knows on darkest nights
it will meet turquoise in the morning
and all distress and hurt
will be taken away
by never-ending waves
that keep on treading seabed
holding wishes
from all times passed
and those that come.
***
Trust the horizon
to be the meeting place
where sun, fate, and the waves’ determination
become one
fused in golden, mellow light
that keeps smiles
tucked inside.
Reach to it and share happiness,
the smiles will come to you
like birds flying, singing along
to every tune that turns
souls to feathers
on a breeze of emotions.
***
Ever-changing as the sea, your heart,
my heart
need one place to rest,
where warmth of feeling stays,
no doubts or anger to betray
the solace in the blues and green
molded with unyielding gold.
***
Smiles reign in the one place
where joy plays with the wind,
it knows how to swim,
how to float,
it rides on waves and touches
sunbeams without fear
of melting
dreams or wishes.
***
Your love is safe here,
you can’t build walls
but the sea is a barrier.
It stops annoyance, hurt
and turns each moment in a flash
of memories and belonging.
You don’t need to look back
when you are resting
in the sunny sea embrace.
***
You are there in the past,
just as you’re standing in the now
and the will be
for the time
your smiles
float and ponder
how far you reached,
how long you should go now
before meeting at last
your love reflected
in the turquoise sun.
***
There is no up or down,
the bonding is eternal,
you can’t find corners, edges,
mountains or meadows,
this resting place simply is and gathers
all that you are and will be,
all you think and desire
to give light back to you,
and smiles
waiting to change
your destiny.
