Apotheosis Of Beauty
The hostility of
this world
asked to
challenge me -
whirlwinds of
fire carried
violence and
death and dark passions.
Beautiful
flowers shone in me,
they glittered
from everywhere -
wherever we were
- they bloomed,
sprouting almost
from nowhere -
alluring and
fragrant,
on forest paths,
over ridges,
in villages,
cities and deserts.
Apotheosis of
beauty and life,
blooms don’t
know capitals or provinces.
The Poetry of
the Earth gushes
with divine
flowers.

Along The Coasts Of The Aegean Sea
We walk along a
street past silent houses.
You say the
people here are good.
A woman reads a
book among the flowers in the garden.
She hears you
and answers:
"They are
good because you are benevolent!"
"You have
gained knowledge and experience," you reply.
"I want to
turn knowledge into wisdom," she says.
Above her head
the figs are ripe.
A huge fruit is
overripe
and burst with
sweetness.
It hangs over
the street
and getting
ready to drip.
