Unique

Each day is different, like the glint of a precious stone-

Tomorrow will be different from the way I see it today.

From afar coral shines among them all,

Phosphorescent in the bottom of the sea, where

The clueless diving suits keep arriving.

 

When I meet his gaze, I dive into the depths;

The abysses come closer in space for the first time,

Faults are joined, wounds regenerate,

Suture stitches vanish in the healing-

We become a whole.

 

My heart beats fast, like when I am

At the sea shore, my blood transforms,

Through my veins sea water ink runs,

Everything I touch becomes the flight of birds,

Everything I breathe is the movement of waves.

 

In his eyes books succeed as ships in the water,

I never tire of turning the pages:

We have met on the same read pages, it’s easy

To see how each dive raises feelings,

Like each ship anchors in our souls.  

 

I have stopped in mid-water, what’s the course?

His path traces mine, the vital conditions.

How many lives may man have, how many deaths and loves?

A great ship pulls our hearts filled

With renewed harmony- the world’s ship.
